Safe to run vf30 on stock boost control?

I am waiting on my injectors to arrive and seding my unichip back to TXS to have the stg4 map loaded. So I was wondering if it would be safe to install my vf30 and use the stock boost control until I get my injectors installed and unichip back from TXS? I already have the fuel pump in.

I've heard it's okay to run a vf30 on stock ecu and fuel as long as you keep the boost down, but what if I am using the stock boost controller and can't lower the boost?

Thanks

i ran a vf30 on stock boost levels for a while (3 months) until i got my injectors and chip in too, so you shouldn't have a problem. Go for it and enjoy the extra power until you get your injectors and chip back.

cool, thanks. Were you still getting 13-14psi or did your boost change because of the turbo?

it'll run the factory boost.......it'll take a little driving for the factory ecu to adjust to the added flow and then you'll get the extra hp
