Default 2016 F TYPE R AWD - Can I install supercharger pulley without a tune?

I am really looking to get some extra whine out of my F Type similar to a hellcat. I know it won't be that loud but right now I don't even hear it in the slightest.

I am curious though, can I install a supercharger pulley/crank pulley/upper+lower air intakes without getting a tune done? I don't really want to tune my car. I just want that beautiful supercharger whine and potentially more power (crank pulley). But I don't want to encounter issues and I don't really want to get a tune done. Thank you!

Yeah I did I actually just finished reading it all before I posted. Was really just seeing if I'd get any fresh opinions while I'm on the phone with a bunch of different places trying to find someone to install my **** for me lol

Can you? Yeah. Should you? Nope. You might be able to do an intake without a tune but doing all you mentioned above without a tune will give you issues in itself. Putting on the pulley(s) will change the boost and if you don't have a tune with adjusted fuel mapping and timing to accommodate this increase in boost your car will for sure throw error codes and possibly even go into limp mode when you take the RPM's past a certain point. If sound is your main goal without having to tune, intake and yanking your engine cover off might get you some results.

Damn, the guys at Mina Gallery seemed pretty confident that just the supercharger pully (not the crank) would not cause any issues. Perhaps biased to their own product (although not really trying to upsale me as I already bought).

The upper pulley alone won't throw a code. But then again if you have the V6, you won't feel any improvement without the tune as the Mina upper pulley is just a scoche smaller than the V6 OEM pulley. If you have the V8, you'll feel a slight improvement without a tune, but not worth the cost or pain of installing an upper pulley. You'll need the tune to make it worthwhile.
