Shop upgrades (PRICES QUOTED) !!!!SUSPICIOUS!!!

So this shop near me was saying for my mk3 7mgte supra that has aem intake and 3'' cat back..

They said..
AEM true boost gauge/controler
Air fuel controller
down pipe
??TUNE?? <---WTF
TOTAL 1600 (ALL LABOR INCLUDED, LABOR IS 90 per HR)

So, the red flag came up with the ??TUNE?? included part.. How can they do a tune on a nearly stock car.. Don't I need a different ignition system, or a stand alone of some sort...

What do you guys think... BESIDES DO IT YOURSELF

I figure
aem = $300
air fuel controller gauge = $130
down pipe = $400
TOTAL $830 (PARTS)

So there is $770 in this so called LABOR.. Maybe the price includes the tune.. If there is any tune.. Thats 8.5hrs.. I called another reputable shop like this one (BTW they both do high performance cars only), the other shop said 2hrs for the down pipe with no issues.. ($180) So that leaves the boost controller install and the air fuel gauge setup.. There is still 6.5 hours remaining for the work.. That's $585 sitting out there left.. How does it take 6.5hours to do the boost gauge and air fuel gauge.. Maybe for me but not a pro..

LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINIONS!!
