Yes you should send it to them so they can professionally fit it. If its just the turbo or a manifold that has been done before they may send you the shields to install if you ask them. Get yourself an e85 test tube and check the alcohol content. You maybe surprised that it is still e85 where you live. I would run a 93 octane in the winter because e85 is a lot harder to start when its cold.

Do I have to send the stuff to them or what?
I wish I could tune on e85, but they have the different mixes here in the north.

E85 or Shitty 91 are my only two reasonable options as well. There's one station around here that sells Sunoco 94 and unleaded 100 octane, but the prices are 
. Definitely agree about the E85 being harder to start in the cold weather. Compared to a good warm-weather tune, the car also tended to bog down severely once any slight load is applied until the manifold warmed up.
I've been running naturally-aspirated with the combination of ID2000s and E85 for the last ~2 months, and have slowly been working on the temperature trims (ECT and AIT) for cranking and part throttle driveability. You need a LOT more fuel when intake manifold is cold since ethanol doesn't volatilize nearly as well as gas. It takes a bit of tinkering, but I've been able to consistently start up in less than 3 seconds and immediate driveability after overnight soaks at ~40°F. I'm not sure how much adjustability there is in Kpro / FlashPro, but with AEM it seems that a year-round tune may be a possibility. I'm trying at least! We'll see what happens when it gets colder here in Northwest Arkansas.
After everything is warmed up and in steady-state, the idle on ID2000s and E85 is definitely liveable. I'm getting somewhere around 13.5 gas-equivalent AFR at a stable 1000 RPM idle. Any less fuel pulse width and the injectors go nonlinear and flow drops to near zero.

Installed PTuning cold air intake. Nice quality parts as always. This is a mod that actually works. Hwy temps dropped from123-128 down to 110-115 depending on boost and or speed. Glad I went this route!

This exhaust is very quiet. I had and Asura 3 inch exhaust which was a lot louder & had significantly more drone, even with a high flow cat installed.
The exhaust while cruising has a nice tone and you can hold a conversation without having to yell at somebody while driving, even with the top down. You get what you pay for, and those big mufflers do an excellent job at keeping everything civil.
