can i live with out a tune if...

Current set up:

cams BC272
HKS intake
HKS EVC boost controller
Perrin Fuel Rail
BR turbo back Exhaust (no CAT)

my CEL doesnt go away, replaced the read 02sensor, tried the antifoulers, about to try http://www.paladinmicro.com/MustangMILEliminator.htm (to the sensor i removed) the soldering is already finished just waiting to the rain to stop to install it.

Megan O2 housing
AEM A/F gauge
Auto meter Boost gauge
Blitz turbo timer
SAFCII
Turbo XS UTEC


Can i live with out the SAFCII and the UTEC? with out getting tuned the second i remove them?

Did you ever replace the front O2 sensor? You can drive without a tune as long as you don't drive the car hard. The SAFC and UTEC are obsolete. It's probably best to get a ECU flash from a well known shop anyhow. Especially given the area you live in, you have a myriad of options.

You mean you want to know if you can go back to a stock ECU running a stock tune with the mods you have? If so, yes, it should be alright however I definitely would NOT get into boost until getting it tuned.

I would say that it is best to stay out of boost until your Evo has been properly tuned.

Doesn't matter what boost you run because you should completely stay out of it until you're getting tuned. If you have a tactrix cable you can also get tuned via email if you don't want to drive out to a tuner.
