I Need Advice Badly

ok so i just put in my vf39, hks uppipe, downpipe, intake, sti tmic and i have NO TUNE, im bringing it to get protuned next week sometime and theyre going to mod my injectors, and ill put my new fuel pump in before then. so i have no other mode of transportation, and i just ran a line straight from the wastegate nipple from the compressor nipple which i believe will only allow 7 lbs of boost. SO my question is, can i drive on this till next week if i try real hard not to boost it or is the ecu going to go crazy????????????????????

do you have any type of EM like cobb, cause if you have an AP i can send you a map that will be pretty close to get you going just so you can get it pro tunned

That's dangerous, forget the EM part (although it's needed) you should not run the VF-39 on stock 02 wrx injectors. You will run too lean and possibly do some serious damage. I wouldn't even start the car.

a safe map should be used. I also wouldn't drive it very much. Without any EM at all, I wouldn't turn it over.

It is your car so you have to live with the damages but I can suggest the same thing that Longshot and Mosc don't drive it all or drive the least you can.

You usually want to put those mods in when you plan on getting the tune like that day or so.

The injectors are the scary part because if you don't use EM, they aren't delivering enough fuel to properly run that turbo, and if you do have EM, even a base "safe" map you will max out the injectors in no time and run leaner than Richard Simmons after an 8 hour workout.
