i would suggest downloading [VF39-S ACN VF39 turbo, STi TMIC, STi "Pink" 565cc injectors & Turboback exhaust designed specifically for AZ/CA/NV 91 octane 1.00map] since it is the closest to your setup at the moment. should be fine with just regular everyday driving.

i do have access to that map via cobb but the wastegate dudty cycles are much different from the 39 to 43, or so ive heard, different parts make for a different tune imo. if someone can correct me on this, please do, simply what ive read and researched on cobbs forum, iclub and a small selection of others.

ohhh i see. makes sense. i don't think you should have much problem if you stay out of boost.

my friend ran the vf39 map with his vf43 for a week or two with no problems. not sure if it was safe, but his car is still running. sorry if this doesn't help.

the 39 map would be better than nothing IMO.
I would just load it on and drive around out of boost until you come up on something better

I would recommend not driving your car very much and if you have to, granny drive the hell out of it as a little fun is not worth destroying a nice setup. That and save up a little cash for a tune. You will be so much happier not having to worry about getting on it or running to lean or rich.

And for future, dont install major parts unless you have a tune scheduled and enouh to pay for it. No point in having an awesome setup with no tune. just my .02
