Default 52mm TB to 58mm TB no tune?

i just installed a new 58mm TB today and had to stop because of a cold front that just came threw. im going to the dyno on friday for a new tune, will my car be able to make it there and what could i expect driving it without a tune?

i finished putting it on and started it a few times but stopped because of the weather. I have not got a chance to adjust the idle yet but i made the tps volts right. idle was very high.

anything i should worry about, the drive is about 20 miles.

You should be fine. Did you port your intake for the 58mm TB?

the reason i was asking is because it was idling way too high and would drop low then high over and over.

i had a brain fart and figured it out. for some reason i tested the volts on the tps with AC not DC. once i readjusted it with DC to .67 my car became a monster. just need to get a tune and see if it really helped.

No,That it is not a TPIS unit and sold under the idea that it is,its a ported stock TB in terrible shape...and that at that price the buyer could have a completely reman'd one with no possibilities of issues and a warranty.
