Merlin tune is the best value-for-money mod you can ever have. He recommended the Grimmspeed Boost Control Solenoid with the tune so as to better exploit the turbo's response. It's only about $120, plus $450 for the tune itself. You'll certainly notice how greatly the lag would be reduced afterwards.

Grimmspeed 3 port not really necessary, and if you don't want your dealership to find out you have been tuning then I highly recommend not putting on the Grimmspeed.

Oh is it not? Merlin himself said that he could extract more useful boost with the Grimmspeed. And can't Mitsubishi also find out about the boost pill change anyway?

The Grimmspeed is "better" but not "necessary". Look this guy doesn't want to mod so I am guessing he still wants to use dealership servicing and be safe for warranty work. I was doing the same thing for over a year, worked well.
It's a lot easier to reflash the tune and pop out the boost pill and put in the stock pill than to remove the Grimmspeed, put your Stock boost solenoid back in, then replumb it all again.
It is possible to do, not really hard, but more time consuming.
Just a suggestion, plus you only spend $10 for a boost pill rather than $120 for a Grimmspeed.

If all you want is a tune and dont want any parts, merlin can do that.
You'll get a bit more boost/power and he can tidy up the fuelling so its a bit leaner (less fuel used when you give it some)
next level would be the boost pill (little brass thing that goes inside the vacum hoses) its not visible at all. It replaces the stock boost pill.
This gives you/merlin alot more options when tuning boost and you can get much more power for the price of your tune.
