moving an untuned car, how should i do this?
ok so im going to install my turbo pretty soon here, but have come upon a dilemma.
first i need to get a custom downpipe made as well as catback system, so im assuming that means the turbo system needs to be installed.
second i somehow need to move this car 100 miles so i can get it tuned by a dealer that tunes with neptune.
now i dont really want to use an AFC but im thinking thats the best option. by doing that i can run my 450cc injectors, pull the wastegate spring and pray i dont go into boost, but at this point im thinking i dont have many choices. or maybe i should rent a truck from some car rental place and rent a trailer from uhaul or something for a weekend. what would/did you guys do if/when you were in my position. are there any options im overlooking here?

Dude buy an HF flux core welder and an exhaust elbow. BAM! theres your down pipe.
Buy a chipped ECU from Xenocron and a wilheim's chip burner off Ebay put those injectors in it and put a basemap on it. That's the best thing to do.

^^that's what i did. got the ecu, gave xenocron my setup, put in my 390's and the basemap he sent me, fluxed a DP and drove it 3.5 hrs from where i live. don't mash the throttle (yeah right 
), watch your boost gauge and shift low before you build boost. no prob. undoubtedly its gonna be hard not to do a fat burnout but whatever, its your car. just don't abuse it too much before its tuned if you don't wanna take the chance of havin to fix it. xenocron's basemap ran **** for me for a couple months at 10lbs without a ping on the det cans.
