Initial Start Up

I just went to a T04Z setup and was wondering if it was safe to start the car even though it hasen't been tuned yet. I know not to drive it around but I want to check for leaks or any kind of problems upon the start up, so that when I get it tuned, there's no problem.

Do you have a proper map in there? At least get a map from a reliable source and just drive on it. Do not boost it by any means. You cannot blow a motor if you dont boost it.

I know I don't have the proper map on the PFC. It was tuned for the non-seq. setup with the stock turbos @ 12psi.

I guess my question is, "Is this current map stable enough to start the car?" I just want to make sure I'm not leaking fuel from my new setup.

As for getting a new map to put on it, I don't have a datalogic. I guess I can try to find someone in this area that may have one if it is absolutely necessary.

Yes, you should be able to start it just fine with the map you have. As long as you didn't change the fuel system.

^yup, what he said. You can let the car idle and warm up, provided you're running the same primaries. Might not be a bad idea to leave the filter off the turbo for initial startup to make sure it's spinning freely at idle.

Well....I kinda changed the entire fuel setup....

I went from the stock system to 1600cc secondaries and 1000cc primaries.

So, I guess I cannot start up from the sounds of it.

You will need to decrease your injector time for when your primaries are just being used. To get you going just multiply all of your primary injectors times by .55.
