You don't need to retune unless boost starts spiking to stupidly high levels, I have seen eclipses with cutouts spike upwards of 5psi with the cutout open vs closed.

Also the more expensive cutouts have low failure rates with good warranties. QTP(I think that's the companies name) has an extremely low failure rate and has a leak proof design, but their cutouts are expensive, close to 300 for one. The cutouts that use the butterfly valve design always leak eventually due to soot build up preventing the valve from fully closing.
