turbotime

Well I am about to go pickup my tubo swap this weekend after it being inthe shop ALLL summer.

My mechanic just got it running last week and I am driving down to MD thursday to go pick up the car and get it tuned.

My question is, should i be wary of anything? I mean it seems like he got the car runnin way too easily, after the engine sitting for almost 2 years he said it ran fine and there are no issues with it? Is this normal? I just dont want to be in the middle of my 400mi trip back to NY with my new setup and have it blow up or something.

Also, i need to drive the car 45min to VA to get it tuned by Steve Sakai (hondata s200b). Now Steve gave me a basemap but said I should still try and stay out of boost on my way to get it tuned.. is this safe? I mean to even drive that distance untuned? How much of a risk do i run of blwoing something up?

I am running a wlbro 255 high output with adjustable FPR. I believe the engine and ignition timing is all stock unless he did something to modify it on the basemap..

Thanks any input is much appreciated...

P.S> - also i have a 2.5" downpipe with a 2 bolt donut flange on the end. I got a 2.5"->3" high flow cat but both flanges on the cat are FLAT flanges. The person i bought the cat from said the flat flange will work with the donut as long as i just use a flat style gasket instead of a donut style gasket..(the downpipe is the FLAT side of the donut) is this true? thanks...
