I've had my 2000 Civic Si tuned not to long back then my transmission had problems and required to be removed and fixed... at that time the car went back on the blocks as we fixed it and we decided to upgrade some turbo parts. Well I'm curious if the car is safe to drive on short trips around to test it to see if any small things give us trouble. I'd rather get these small problems fixed at home rather then sitting on a dyno with a tuner waiting on us.

At the same time I'd rather have small problems on the dyno then have detonation or any other serious problem that can compromise my whole build for just road testing. I know tunes are incredibly important and infact my next tune date is August 17th so don't think I'm trying to convince you to convince me that I don't need a retune. So let me know what you guys think.

But yes, you can drive around (responsibly) a bit to see if things are stable. Then retune

use your tune as a base map to drive around and check for leaks and ect, dont boost even at all just stay out of boost then get tuned.
