Default first turbo build almost complete

Ok, so i picked up the last few odds and ends i need to get my car started, then thought about something, i have the standard plugs installed. can i at least start the car with those plugs, then get the colder plugs and give it a test drive?
thanks
Joe

is the car going to be tuned when your driving it? don't boost until the car is tuned. ask your tuner what he like to use.

He said it best. Don't boost on a basemap or on an untuned honda. It's meant to get your car running so you can find leaks if there are any. Tune on the plugs you will be using to drive with.

Nope, you can start it. It's recommended to spend the $13 for your plugs. Just hit up autozone/kragen/checkers/o'reily & grab some
