What is safe to install?

meffie · 06-05-2008, 11:03 AM

Hey guy's, need your expert opinions. My tuner is about 2 1/2 hours away and I got all my new stuff, just wondering what I can install and safely drive before the tune, and what I shouldn't.

Currently I'm stage 2 protuned.

Dom 3r, 850 injectors, fmic, p&p manifold, xpipe, plugs, turbo inlet.

I plan on staying out of boost as much as possible on the trip down, but I typicaly see at least 5lbs give or take under normal driving on this trip.

Thanks!

easiest way is to call your tuner and see if he has a temporary map that he can email you so you can "limp" to the tuner.

I thought about that, but I currently have no way to install a temp map, laptops fried atm

Borrow a laptop or have it towed
If the tuner is less than 100 miles away you could get a AAA gold membership and have it towed for the cost of the membership ($80).

just stay out of boost, u can drive up to freeway speeds without going into boost pretty easily.

I would install everything and just drive to the tuner, problem solved. Its going to drive like crap and probably hate you but its possible.

Or just borrow a car trailer and pull it down.

either borrow a laptop and get a map, or get it towed. thats it.

Thats what I'm thinking. It just feels better to have other people say it too :P

Absolutely do not drive there with aftermarket injectors with the stock injector scaler. He need to send you a map to do so.
