Default How well will the car run with no tune?

I have a 98 a4 TA. The car has the whole induction setup minus the upgraded intake manifold, it has LT headers and the full exhaust system, 3.73 gears, nitrous - done recently (75 shot), and HPPIII.....My friend is selling his 3500 stall SSF TC for $350. It was rebuilt by TCI. Now if I have all the mods (which go into further detail in my signature), and a TC, how well will the car run with no tune?? Tuning goes around $500+ and I don't have that kind of money right now. Thanks for any input.

You will be alright without a tune, although a tad rich, but you won't be able to tell the difference performance wise. Now once you tune it, you will feel a decent improvement. For $500 you can purchase a tuning suite like HPtuners and tune it yourself.

Don't forget the wideband. Without it you won't know where you are relative to A/F ratio.
