might as well save another grand for k-pro and do it right. i'm not familiar with k series, but i know that any engine boosted and not tuned, isn't good at all.

You CAN run it on stock if you stay out of boost but i wouldnt do this for long. The chances of popping a good engine are pretty high if you screw around and push it too hard. I understand your situation and would put it on, but know that the consequences are high if you don't treat is nicely

KPro or blown engine...you can't really do anything until you tune it. Those are your ONLY options. Sucks, but you should have planned for that earlier

even once you get k pro you still have to get a tune you should just be patient man cause rushing leads to problems you especially don't want to mess up a k series

Take off the intercooler pipe that goes to the manifold. You should able to drive it like normal without the fear of boost getting into the motor.
