Driving with these mods untuned

Yes I know that a tune is required to make the power out of the mods and make the car safe. But if I were to put these mods on can I still daily it for a little while and drive to the tuner?

Turbo back exhaust
larger o2 housing
Plumb back BOV
Intercooler piping (hot + cold)
255lph fuel pump
Grimspeed 3 port boost solenoid

I of course have a wideband and boost gauage installed.

As long that you stay off boost, you'll be ok

The 3 port requires a tune.

Was thinking about installing that just before the tune to be safe.

Assuming you're on standard boost now, not a 3port, that grimmspeed will make you overboost. Stay off boost and it should be fine
