Default How Un-tuned is my car?

I was suppose to have a tuning appointment this morning but I had to postpone b/c I was having car complications. My tuner is Jeff Evans and for those who know him you know how hard it is to get an appointment. Well I finally got my car running but I was only able to reschedule a tuning appointment for May 10th! That's a month down the road!

I want to know how untuned my car is with my new mods:

Here is my old setup:
SS AutoCrap Manifold
t3/t4 garret 54 trim
2.5 --> 3"
Tial 38mm WG
3" Thermal
2.25 IC Piping
450cc Injectors
Walbro 255
Stock b16 longblock
Stock IM

For my new setup, this is what I added:
Victor X IM
rdlfab manifold https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1105639
3" DP (No AC on my black car )

How untuned do you think my car is now? Should I keep it outta boost? Should I not even drive it?

FM as in fuel management. If you have nothing there your car will barely run, if it'll run at all, with those 450CC injectors.

Chances are you will be fine if you just changed the intake manifold, turbo manifold, and downpipe...

I don't think it will change things so much at 7psi that you are going to blow up or anything... but, I wouldn't wait a whole month to get that thing tuned, especially if you are driving it every day...

My car has been running 7 psi untuned on BBKA's .bin for four months now! LoL... my wideband should be here tomorrow so I'm tuning it this weekend...

IMO you will be fine... but I'm no professional or anything either, let's see what others have to say...

Well I'm tuned at 7psi with Emanage. Think I'll be fine if I keep it outta boost the whole month?

i would get it retuned , you have a way better breather intake and exhaust now , so it will lean out , and yes you should be fine if you stay out of boost ,

don't drive it, sell your e-management, and use the money to get the sockets and chip burners and tune it your self with uberdata, crome, or neptune.

with the knowledge u will have of your car you will not have to go back to someone when u want mo boost or get upgrades for your motor.

best of all once u get the hang of it u can charge to tune other peoples car and make your money back
