I just had a quick question? Im about to buy a used turbo kit and i wanted to know if it was safe to put it on and boost until i get more money to get it tuned?

Id say just keep the revs low and try to stay out of boost, not the best idea though....but i did it.

If it's a turbo kit with an FMU, there is nothing to tune. You just slap it on and hope for the best.

If it has some sort of engine management, you'll at least need a conservative basemap... either way it's going to need to be tuned. Boost + no tuning = broken motor

yeah my friend told me that it has an fmi. But its better if i get hondata and tune it for better specs?

the fmu is not a really good way to go. hondata or uberdata or neptune would be ideal and would let your motor last

to answer your question yes you can drive the way it is until its tuned..
i started w/ a basic drag kit--fmu and bullsh1t external fuel pump for 1 year
stk injectors/stk exhaust--i ran it a 5-6 psi...dont go over that and you'll be fine

Yeah i plan to get hondata once i get enough money for my dyno tune. Thanks for all the info. guys
