Sweet Setup !! BTW How smog leagal is the MP122 ?? is the EGR removed in the process ?? I did not see it in the Pic`s unless its an 01/02 car . Also if I install the S/C myself can I drive it somewhere / is it drivable to be tuned or will I have to have it done all at once ??

Thanks .

The tuner will send you a email tune. That tune is good enough to drive it to him and give it a real dyno tune!

It's a program you download on a computer, I used a sct tuner. When you arrange the setup, just call the tuner shop and they'll tell you how it's going to work. It's not safe to drive a fi car without a tune.

You won't have an EGR provision unless you can add it in. As far as driving without a tune you could as long as you don't put the bigger injectors in until you get there and don't get on it and build boost.

Thanks flame , so it might be best to have my tuning shop install & do it all at once since its an hour & a half drive away not that I would get on it at all . BTW do you have an LSX swap in your T/A ??

Thanks .

A buddy of Mine built a 06 gt 67mm hp turbo and it ran ok without the tune. And when he loaded the email tune it wouldn't run Anymore but it was the tuners fault. Now he whippled it and has been driving it for a month or two in a email tune without problems. So a email tune can be good, but can also be bad.
