im putting an licp,intake cone filter and tbe on i'm getting a tune but i was going to put the mods on a week before the tune is that bad for the car?

Negative. Do you have a boost controller? If not, that would be a wise next step (unless you plan on controlling boost through the ECU). Drive it conservative (I know that may be hard, ha ha), until it is tuned.

 

well i was going to have my tuner install a mbc when i get there! do you think it would be a good idea to get a it or do you think i dont need it since im getting tuned? thanks guys

Youll be fine, don't worry about it

 

I would get the MBC either way. Just drive soft and you shouldnt have any problems

 

newbie forum

 

The Evo is pig rich from the factory. I drove mine for a while untuned and it was still rich as can be. Just watch your boost and keep it at the stock level and you will be more than OK. A Walbro wouldn't hurt either.

 

as long as ur not taking it to the track and launching right after u put the mods on, u should be fine, just be easy on the car until u get everything tuned in right

 

With those mods their is nothing to worry about, I had alot more than that on the stock ROM and it still ran horribly rich and didn't give much of any gain (except sound) untill I got my tune. Just make sure your boost is at the stock level after your TBE install and you will be fine. I suggest you get yourself a tactrix cable and a logger program as you will need these in the near future anyway and verify for yourself.

 

You should be fine. I had mine installed before the tune. I just don't really run hard except when logging but it all goes well so far. I'm almost done with tuning. If you haven't tune it yet, I would PM Tamer at 4Wheels Slide because it'll cost you a lot less! But it's your choice and depends if you got the time because it's going to take some time to do street tuned Good luck

 

why do you think i need tactrix cable and logger program?? i was wondering just in case i need to go back to stock flash will my tuner have it?? thanks

(most of us know how rich the cars are from the factory) ... from my experience, I put the injen intake on first, and it leaned it out nasty style up top, but if you were to add the exhaust, that richens the whole powerband, so you should be fine! Just try not to do too much spirited driving till the tune. And if your not gonna be tuned via ecu boost control than definitely get a MBC!

 

You will be fine.

 

like a lot of people said you will be fine.

 

just dont build boost
