Default Daily driving 60 lbs injectors with a TSP tune?

Ok so I was going to do the rear mount setup but cash is extremely tight and I don't think I can afford it right now, I guess im doing a racetronix fuel pump install that I had laying around already with a set of 60 lbs injectors for future turbo build, and was going to get an mail in order tune from TSP for this, question is am I going to loose a lot of MPG if I do this?

If it's tuned properly you wont lose any MPG...if you do lose MPG than it's running too rich and not tuned properly

so even if i had 80 lbs injectors if they adjust the A/F ratio correctly I should stay the same just more power? would I noticed power with the tune and injectors by themselves?

uh thats a negative.. Just wait to install anything until you have everything lined up. Minimize down time and headaches in the long run.. Just my 2 cents.

no sense in getting a tune for injectors that wont help you any at this point, only to turn around and have to get re-tuned again when you put the turbo setup on.

unless you're tuning it yourself, you're going to have to paysome one to tune it for the 80# injectors, which will not give you an increase in power or drivability, and then when you do the turbo setup, you'll have to pay someone AGAIN to tune it. Buy the injectors if they are a good deal, and set them aside until you're done collecting all the parts you need, installing them now and paying for a tune is just a waste of time and money.

Mail order tunes are fine for a bolt on car/but if your thinking a mo tune on a highly modified car is a good idea its not,especially after going boost,there are so many things that can come into play that a mo will do jack for, my buddy just had his turbo car tuned and he paid close to a grand i believe, kinda on the high side but they spent alot of time on it, just to give ya an idea for when ya finally get things together
