Default safe to drive with new manifold?

i installed my new JG intake mani and 70mm TB and Im already tuned from last year (same turbo and everything else) i am just wondering if its ok to still drive the car and "boost" it with the new intake mani? or will it just run or even blow?

It's "okay" to DRIVE your car.. It will tho, run leaner because of the intake manifold change. id get the car to the dyno to clean up the tune asap tho...

i mean u can get into boost, but i wouldnt go crazy, it may actually feel a lil lazy with the bigger IM. that manifold likes higher revs 7-10k rpm is where u'll feel the difference...get the car re-tuned tho bro..

Its safe to drive as long as you aren't running it too hard. If you want to step on it, get it tuned again
