Do not boost at all, not even one short pull. Get it tuned. It's ok to drive the car like grandma, but don't go beyond that.

The stock timing is waaaaaaay high with factory compression and without tuning for fuel you are just looking for a broken piston. It HAS to say that in the STS literature somewhere.

I didn't even think of driving mine until I had a tune to back the damn stock timing out of it first of all and to richen it up a bit. I really dont think it's worth cruising around trying not to boost, it's just too damn hard when you hear that thing spooling up to not hammer down... just my .02.

It was just posted above.... just swap the injectors out at the tuner's shop, they take like 15-20minutes.

I agree with frost, I changed my injectors in the parking lot and I put my 2bar Map sensor in also. I was just real careful not to go crazy on the highway, Then I realized that driving in L.A. during rush hour, the only thing going crazy was me Sometimes I hate living here, mainly when I want to get on the highway and but then stop cause all the cars. oh well time for a
