I know this next question is ridiculous so be gentle...

Assuming the shop I take it to doesn't have a dyno...is the car safe to drive just to get it to one that DOES have a dyno? Or would driving it at all with the FI stuff installed screw things up?

I'm only asking because I know someone who owns an aftermarket shop, so I may get a litle better deal in terms of man hours, but they don't have a dyno..

You can install everything and just leave the blower belt off and it should be ok to drive...just don't try driving crazy like that. It will just be running with no boost. Have the aftermarket shop put the belt on and tune it.

Are you buying the "tuner" kit?

So what you're saying is if I want to go FI I should get the most expensive install I can possibly find? LoL How does that make sense? I'm trying to find the best possible bang for my buck. I'm trying to do it right the first time...no mistakes. That's the whole point.

Anything you guys suggest I can afford flat out...trust me. It's not about the money.
