Turbo swap +80 mile drive+ no tune = ?!?!?!?

I'm swapping out my stocker to a fp and putting larger injectors in,

My tuner is about 80 miles I'm not thinking it'd be great to drive with out

Having it tuned should I just flatbed it?? Or you think I'd be good for the ride there

Thanks bryan

How big of injectors? I see that being the only problem. If they are way bigger you will need to scale them. Other than that we did a stock 9 turbo to fp red setup on my buddys car and drove 50 mi home out of boost and was perfectly fine.

Injectors take 20 minutes, a socket wrench and needle nose pliers to change. Drive there early, change them in the parking lot and let the tuner go to work.

You should be ok as long as you take it really easy, then get it tuned as soon as possible.
