I don't think that your have to have a tune with it.I do know that alot of the members here that have installed a TB spacer says it didn't do anything and is a waste of money and that they took it off.Don't mean to discourage you about the TB spacer.I'm sure you'll get some other posts about this.

No tune is required. I had one. I seen no differance so eliminated it when I installed my CAI. No room for it.

Yeah, I said it before. I have one and it makes a whistling noise... I've never paid $130 for a whistle until 3 months ago. Whatever it's like a hood scoop on a GT, pretty much useless.

Hey if it makes you happy keep it. Absolutely no gain tho, just the slight whistle when your CAI "breathes." I got one then traded it to a guy from work for a belt buckle. I told him he could get at least 10 rwhp from it. All I ended up with was an expensive belt buckle.

Save your money and get an intake/tuner pack. Tuners don't void your warranty, as you can always reset your computer to stock tuning before you take it in for work. At the dealership they can tell that your computer has been reset, but thats all it will tell them. Your computer can be reset for a number of reasons like fuses blowing, battery dying, etc. so they can't really void your warranty by seeing that the computer was reset.

Plenty of guys flash back to stock tuning and go in for oil changes and warranty work and never have any problems.

Some swear that they make a difference. I'm not convinced.

Like black05pony said, the tuner should not void your warrenty as long as you flash back to stock before you let them see it. The spacer, Ive never had one so I don't know if it works or not, does not require a tune. Neither does a new throttle body.
