Default wanting to test fire motor before kit is on car.

i have a new motor and new turbo kit goin on the car and was wondering if i should test fire the car n/a first only to make sure all is good before i go any further? or should i just wait until the entire car is put together?

i have spare exhaust and what not i could throw on there for the mean time instead of the turbo manifolds.


im also worried about gettin the car tuned and moving it after its all together, should i send my computer to the tuner before hand so maybe i can atleast start the car? or should i just put it all together and get it trailor to the shop and let them deal with it all? im just tryin to minimize problems and fix them before the car is tuned.


thanks

btw the kit is a iron 346 with a pt 88 front mount

I would get a tune on there to atleast to account for bigger injectors. Otherwise youre fine driving around, outside of boost unless your new motor is very different

I don't see a problem with hooking it all back together without the kit and piddling around for a while to break the motor in. I plan on doing that to make sure everything is 100% before the snails go on.

I'm doing a speed density tune on mine and breaking it in NA first. Once that's all sorted the turbo goes on. Plus it will be cool to see how much I pick up from NA to boosted. I'm doing a rearmount though. So it's easy to do NA first.
