Friendly advise to make your tune the best it can be. Make sure that your car is operating correctly. There is little to no time during your tune to fix problems. If you are using a EBC or MBC make sure that it is working correctly and holding boost properly. Make sure that you perform a boost leak test prior to getting tuned. This will ensure you are tuned properly. It will also make sure your car is running at it peak potential. If you need a tester you can borrow mine just shoot me a PM. If you do not have a aftermarket fuel pump now is the time to get one. They are around $100 and will ensure you are getting the proper amount of fuel. They also can be installed in under 30min. If you need anything installed the day of the tune please call William at his shop, so he can make sure it gets in before your tune.

+1 on what Jason said. When I got tuned by Al I didn't have a fuel pump because honestly at the time he said they're flowing at around 235lph and that's plenty. But, I was running out of fuel up top so I didn't get a "proper" tune in my opinion. Drove back to SA that day, bought one from William, and installed it that night. I'll be 100% ready this time...no make that 115% ready. Good advice

I am going to pass unless my kit gets here before then. No reason to go out until then.

No, go ahead and install it. It won't hurt or affect drivability.

Ray, I would do it before hand. If anything it will make you run a little rich. If something was to go wrong with the install the day of the tune you may end up missing your tune. Last tune we had people were trying to install things outside in the 100+ degree weather. It was not a pretty site. I remember someone losing the C-clip from one of there injectors and a meth kit that went wrong. Better done before hand for your own sanity.
