I heard that dyno tuning is a must when your car is "heavily modified". Do I really need to dyno tune my car? And note that this is a daily driver. I don't push the car to its limits or anything.

Give me your educated opinion and justify it!

you could dyno tune it just for that extra bit of power, but its not absolutely needed because you have stock injectors and a stock AFM.

theres no real need to tune as far as saftey goes. i would hold off on dyno time untill you get larger injectors, an AFM, and a bigger turbo [assuming thats in the plan] because once you perform those mods, you will have to dyno it again. hold off on the dyno tuning, your just gonna have to pay for it again after those mods.
