I know an evo should not be driven indefinitely without a tune if you do bolt ons....unless you want to possibly deal with causing damage.

My question at this point is..........the shop will be able to do the recirculating DP, catted test pipe, catback exhaust, FMIC, and LICP all in one day (I already have UICP and intake).
Within a one to two day window, they will be able to get the tuner to tune it and also add the EBC.

So question is.....have any of you driven for a day or so with full bolt ons without a tune? Currently undecided about this. Been told take it easy on the car and no gunning it and all should be well.

thanks

 

Just don't boost. You can drive with bolt ons until you get tuned. You'll be okay.

 

Yup, I drove for about a day or two as well with full boltons. Just don't boost as mentioned above.

 

U can boost, just don't go wot

 

Or play it safe by renting a car for 2 days. It might cost you $50. That's certainly worth it for the peace of mind...

 

Dont take my advice but I drove around with TBE and exhaust for 3 week and full boosting but its not recommended.

 

You will be 100% fine. Those are not going to cause damage even if you boost, I ran all those with no tune for a while. You may get a CEL from the Test pipe but that is all.

 

You can run your car without a tune.

 

Yup, this. Keep it to low RPMs and you should be okay.

 

Not recommend but I do know a few people who have. One of my friends has DP,TP,Exhaust, UICP, and Intake for over a year with no tune. He also drives his car hard every possible chance. But thats him and his car hasn't had any issues. I personally wouldn't go that long. However, a few days and staying off boost and you will be fine.
