Safe to Drive?
Hey all,
This weekend I did a VF34 pinks Walbro swap into my car. I have uppipe/turboback, but my inlet hose, intake, and TMIC are still all stock. I drove 80 miles to get back home and babied it. The car is actually running great!
I obviously am going to get tuned but my question is how long can I safely run like this untuned if I keep babying it. I am driving a 200+ mile round trip this weekend and don't want to harm my car.
Any help is greatly appreciated! : ) : )

P.S. Again I know I need to get tuned and will but just dont see how I can fit it in before this weekend's trip : /

Brian! how have those Soc classes helped you in post-college life? lol
i think you would be fine if you stay outta boost as ive heard ppl going from pnt A to B untuned without any problems.

oh god.. serious
there is another case of someone hydro locking the car due to pinks and no tune.
I would suggest not driving the car AT ALL TILL YOU GET IT TUNED.
or swap in the old injectors and don't run it hard at all.

yikes....
No I have no accessport or tune
I am currently tuned for stock injectors, stock turbo, stock TMIC, but with turboback and Uppipe.
Problem is Accessports are sold out everywhere.
I drove about 80 miles home the way it is now last night. If my tuner would call me back it might help : /
