Yea, if your just driving it to a shop to get it tuned and you yake it easy on it. But don't put too many miles on it.

P.S. one of the best investments you will ever make (esp. since you've got a "tuner" car) is AAA. Having a AAA membership has saved me HUNDREDS of dollars.

same risks as if it was tuned..only your chances are better of ******* something up. if you happen to boost it its not gonna kill it. i have been driving my turbo gsr untuned for 3 months now and have even ran it at the track a couple times.....12.2 untuned just riding on a base map. plugs look good when i pull them, i dont hear detonation, car still runs strong.....i guess i just a have killer map....im even running mid 11's on my wbo2

You should atleast get an FMU or a basemap done, but those are only temp jobs.
