A set up never goes a miss.......but the ecu will just about allow you to run 10psi so its up to you if you fancy your luck or not

Always best to get it checked/tuned imo better to be safe than sorry

Deffo get a set-up. For Ł150 or so the engine will run better, and the tuner should be able to advise on any parts about to go pop. Prevention is better than a cure.........

I would say yes. I thought mine went well as standardish, but when it was being tuned for more power the clutch started slipping. PJ put it back to standard till I got paddle clutch and the dif was remarkable. Just a lot smoother, timing absolutely spot on, used less fuel, more linear power delivery. I am now an absolute advocate of a proper set up by a well known tuner.
