Default do i need a base map before turning on engin

Hey might sound stupid but looking for input. I am finishing up my TT build here in korea. Do i need a base map if all i plan on doing is turning on the engine to see if it fires up after install? I plan on putting the Z on a tow truck and taking it to the tuner after. Just looking to be safe before i turn it on.

Thanks

congrats on going forced induction man! Im jelly, and considering trying it myself too.

Your car will need its own MAP made to fully utilize the turbo but just driving the car to the tuner will set the car for its own MAP that will gave a decent baseline. Depending on who you use for the tune, they also have MAPS already pre programed that you basically just download for your car. I know with UpRev you can call them up and tell them exactly what you are running on your car and for $75 or so they just email you a MAP that has been used on a similar set up. Then your tuner can twerk it a bit to get it right where you want it.

Just a side note questions... hows the tension on Korea right now? Im in north America and I only really get biased news that leaves out a lot of the true story. You guys must be feeling some pressure or stress with all the politics going on down there?

If you have changed the injector size, which i'm sure you would have, I doubt it will even idle.
