Is it dangerous?

Hi, I live in El Paso and plan on driving to Cobb@Dallas to get a tune. This will make me to drive about 9 good hours. I will be installing Turbo, Down Pipe, Exhaust Manifold, Intake Manifold, Gas pump, Injector, and Throttle body before driving up.

Do you guys think it is dangerous to do so? Does anyone see any problems in those 9 hours drive with those mods w/o a tune?

Don't install the injectors, just install them at Cobb when you get there, or have them install them. Everything else will be fine as long as you don't go WOT. If your really concerned, just loop your wastegate line so you run spring pressure.

Monitor your A/F and knock on your trip, and you should be fine.

Most of it will be ok.. but DO NOT install the injectors. That would be really bad and you could blow your engine..

Well the injectors would cause a ****ty idle and your car probably wouldn't even run depending on the size.

Goodness, any possibility you could have Cobb handle the parts install when you are there? Much safer.

Stay out of boost and drive the car gently. Do NOT install the injectors, do them once you are at Cobb. When are you coming up?
