Will I have problems with my new PFC?

I just bought a pfc from a guy off the forum and he said it is set for downpipe, catback, high flow cat, open intake, and stock turbos at 11 psi. I am running dp, mp, cb, pulleys, intake, ic, 1300cc injectors, denso fuel pump, and i blocked off the AWS with plates. All I want to know is if I will have any problems driving my car to the dyno, ~20 minutes away, for tuning? I only plan on driving it slow, no boost, and don't plan on driving it, except once (to make sure I got it back together right ), till I the day I go to get it tuned. What do you all think?
Thanks in advance.

I seriously doubt you will have any problems driving it for days, nevermind 20 minutes, especially with no boost.

Change the "maps" to adjust for your 2nd injectors, use maybe 0.04 for lag although everyone seems to say it doesn't make a difference and I can't tell between 0.04 and 0.00 either.

Ill post this again...it was lost in the crash today...


be careful...a pfc that is not tuned on a wideband specfic for your car will have maps that are not compatible with your machine OFTEN TIMES.

I had xs tune my maps via a mod list and got garbage in return...it did not line up at all...ran lean..even got detonation the first time I pulled out of the parking lot.

nearly the same experience with maps sent from kdr.

be very very careful....my detonation happened at about 3k rpms and at about 4lbs of boost...maybe 5...limping around may not be the solution.

if it was me...Id inch out there..feel it out...if it starts to cut out...add a bunch of fuel via the pim setting and see if that gets you to the shop...

but really..if it was me..Id tow it to the dyno and not worry about it at all....better safe than sorry. I learned my lesson thanks to xs.
