Just be patient. It would be wise to do as little with the car on as possible before you tune it.

yeah you can start it up all day long on stock fuel pump, and even boost nice whp on stock fuel pump. but you do need a tune before id boost. peace.

should have a nipple on the turbo near outlet, and run that to bottom of wastegate. But 7 psi with no tune, no anything...is gonan be wack, youre gonna break ****...its gonna do nothing but throw CEL. and once that CEL comes on, all power is gone, just boggs and pops and does nothing until you restart the car. I suggest waiting 2months for ATLEAST basemap and a lil street datalogg/tune. cause you will throw NO cel with that, and it will retard timing for you as you gain boost...and runs so much smoother and safer.

No offense, but if you dont know enough about turboing a honda to hook up vac lines to a wastegate you probably should'nt run around with out a tune. Get a tune. Your car will thank you and so will ur wallet when you dont have to rebuild your motor.

also, no you do not need a down pipe or O2 sensor to run the car...you can drive it to the shop like that no problem, just dissconnect a boost pipe first, so u do not boost any. wont hurt a damn thing.

tape what into the pipe? the o2??? you dont need the o2 just to goto the shop.... I ran my car turbo for 4months with no O2...I had a wideband that we used to tune it with, but afterwards i jsut plugged the hole.

But why doyou need a map sensor? you plan on boosting past 14.7 psi? thats only way you will need a new map sensor. and they are like $60 for gm 3bar map.
