Default untuned Turbo GSR

just threw on my kit with a 60 trim turbonetics dual fin ball bearing. i have s300 and need to know if the b18c5 revhard basemap will be alright to drive on for about a week until i can get it tuned? babying the car of course out of boost. if needed i could let it sit instead but thats a final resort

If you don't have a wideband gauge, don't drive the car un-tuned.

If your car runs too rich, you'll wash down your rings and start smoking. If you run too lean, you'll blow a head gasket. If you knock under boost at high RPM where you can't hear it, you'll just blow the **** out of it. Everyone on here is tired of telling people to quit driving their cars untuned because 2 weeks from now, you'll be coming back asking why it's smoking, has a blown head gasket, or broken ring landings.

But hey, you know more than these guys do. If you baby it, you'll probably be ok. And when it does go all to f*@k, you can always blame it on some other mechanical issue instead of tuning.

Don't drive it un-tuned. Period. Don't start it, don't let it idle, don't let the engine warm up until you get a wideband. How do I know this? Experience. You can learn from others' experience, or you can go out there and blow it up all on your own.
