Evo 9 Turbo swap, Tuning??
Well i got a good deal on a evo 9 turbo so i figured i would do the swap since it only takes a cpl of hours. Now my questions is, do i need a tune or its fine for now? I will eventually get a tune this summer once i drop the cams, but for now its on stock boost selenoid ( no boost controller), and i just swaped the turbo with ported manifold and megan o2 housing. Is it okay to drive without a tune?? I dont see why not but i figured i would get some advise.

Bro I just swapped a 9 into my car. Get a tune asap. Regardless what u think its a stock turbo, but your map is set for your old turbo. You could get major problems. Get a tune. Enjoy

Yes the car is still on stock oem tune and as i mentioned still on stock selenoid so no boost controller. I thought it would not be a problem due to the fact that the evo 8 vs evo 9 turbo is not that difference on oem set up. The evo 9 turbo
only boosts 2 psi more. I will def get a tune i just wanted to test drive the car first and see the difference in turbos.

Do you have a tactrix cable or logging capability? If so then you can do a couple logs once you get the 9 turbo setup and see if there's excessive knock or not. Then you can decide whether to tune it now or wait til the summer.
