EDS have probably devised their maps based on tuning hundreds, if not thousands of Z20LEx powered cars, so I would think it'd be safe to assume they've got a tune that would suit whatever mods you have, as they've probably seen every combination there is. I would say a custom tune would only be worth looking at when you go past stage 3.5, as that's when you'd yield the most from any form of custom tune (and start venturing into the more exclusive and unknown territories). Other than that, the EDS IPF is more than sufficient for what you need now.
Yes, there are many different types and variants of intercoolers, exhausts, etc on the market, the power differences for example between say a TX intercooler and an Airtec branded intercooler are probably not enough to warrant a custom tune (Although the Airtec cooler looks better in comparison and would be of far better build quality).
I got my first tune on my turbo vert done by PowerChip in Melbourne...
That was a long time ago now in 2004.
I know a few people had issues with the PowerChip tune but for me it worked extremely well and provided a massive jump in power and torque...
I have since tried 3 other software tunes which I can load and swap at any time along with the PowerChip tune and only one of those can provide more power or torque than the PowerChip tune, so if your located in Melbourne maybe look into it - I've got no idea on pricing etc. because as said it was over 10 years ago now...
EDS IPF is a great tuning device it's the way to go. As stated their IPF system has tuned many many cars world wide.
So long as you match right mods with the tune get actuator set up for boost to suit tune it will be ok the ecu will help adapt also.
Then always check up on dyno or put in AFR gauge to check fuelling.
Doing OPCOM logs checking for knock, short/long fuel trims, 02 sensors, ignition ect ect
