I predict your car runs bad until you tune. I would stay outta boost etc and only drive if you must. Good luck with tuning with Jon, his tunes rock!!! He will get you off to a good start.

From what I've read and heard - you probably shouldn't put anything on until you are ready to get the tune. I've heard of a situation where someone put some stuff on then blew it up on the way to get tuned. It could happen. Why risk it?

By not beating on it, they mean staying _out of boost_, not keeping it at 19psi.

You're making some serious changes to key assumptions the car has about how it's running. Install all of that and get into boost - go boom.

Wait until you're getting the tune to put on the mods (at least leave off the cams and Walbro).

I know what you mean about staying out of boost I'm just saying i'm not gonna even raise the amount it can possibly go to until its time for a tune.
