Default turbo d questions

i am planning to get an used apexi kit for my 95 sol si:

Used Apexi turbo kit, no intercooler, extra and neccessary piping to hookup to the manifold without intercooler, will include oil pan with oil return, also golden eagle oil feed sandwich, include all hardware, hoses, piping, clamps etc., also includes blitz blow off valve

want to know if it is ok to run on a chipped ecu running a basemap for the turbo kit until i can get it tuned??

anything else i should get besides boost gauge and intercooler? will be installed during the winter w/ some of my mechanically inclined friends...

A basemap is only used to get your car from your house to the tuner shop to get tuned.......in my case, my basemap couldn't even get me out of my driveway...haha.....it was boggin like crazy.

Yeah I had to run a basemap about an hour and a half to get it tuned, I got mine from Phearable.net. I would get a cheap SMIC, I just think its dumb to run with out an intercooler, there's more power in running one too.

well a "good" basemap would should have very conservative timing and around a 10.5:1 a/f ratio. So i dont see why you couldnt drive with it untill you get it tuned, you'll lose a ton of power and you'll have shitty gas mileage but it would be safe
