Default tuneing the zpi stage 0?

so, when you get the ZPI stage 0 turbo, is there any necessary tuning to it....people say there isn't any necessary, but i thought you needed some kind of piggy back system, or a tune, when adding any forced induction component, cause i thought with more hair, came more fuel.....this could be a noob question, haha.....thanks in advance!

Hair slows you down regardless of forced induction or not; shave your head to increase aerodynamics. It won't make a big difference but every little bit counts.

Should that be done at a shop or can I do that myself? How much would a brazillian wax cost for my top end (Engine)?

No tunning is required for a Stage 0... The ECU compensates for more air coming into the engine, with more fuel by it self. It is recomended to have a Wideband A/F gauge, so you can keep an eye on the air/ fuel ratio's. If you wanted to run more psi than what the Stage 0 comes with out of the box, then you would want to think about getting the E-manage, FMIC and injectors.
