Default I wanna make sure I can do this to get my car home.

Hey guys, thanks in advance for any good advice. Me and some friends threw on my turbo setup on my civic over the weekend, and we used my friend's garage. Well, it turns out my ecu was fried, so my car doesn't read the basemap and floods ridiculously with the 440s. I can't keep my car at my friend's garage any more, so I need to get it home. It's about a 4min. drive on city streets.

Can I put in my stock 240s and be REALLY easy on the gas so as not to boost just to get the car home? I don't have a stock 02 sensor anymore so there'll be a CEL already, I just wanna know if I can do this to just get my car home and wait for my new ecu.

Thanks a bunch.

why not just tow it if its only a 4 minute drive? rope from your buddys car to yours
thats the safest solution to your motor

Yeah, I might just do that, I just wanted to see if that'd be possible, but now that I think about it, that may be the best approach. Thank you.

np, remember to use good rope though, the thick yellow poly prop rope thats cheap from ahardware store works really well for towing

Just stay out of the boost and drive home.It is fine doesnt matter if you have 240's in there as long as your not boosting.

Thank you also. Well, I sort of arranged for a friend to tow me home tomorrow, I just have to take off my hotside ic piping to put my towhook back on. I also remembered that one of my injector seals got torn when we tried to get them off, so yeah, the tow it is. I really appreciate the advice though.
