thefuture Member 46 Member For: 15y 11m 21d Posted 28/07/09 08:13 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 08:13 AM Hi thereGetting a full 4"xforce system and a process west intercooler stage 2 on this week. It's getting fit at my mechanics, then getting tuned at another place across town. Will it hurt the car by driving it around without it being tuned properly. (I would rather avoid driving it, but it has to get there somehow)Apparently the engine light comes on....?Anything else to be concerned about?Cheers, Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60097-driving-without-a-tune-with-full-exhaust-and-intercooler/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you doing the cat as well as the cooler and Zorst ? Big jumps from the stock set upYes your engine light will come on due to the 02 sensor, your tuner will be able to sort it.

The engine light will be freaking me out, but if its just the O2 sensor, then no worries. Yep its a full stainless 4" system with the process west stage 2 intercooler. Then take it to the tuner to fit up xcal3 + injectors and tune.Just don't want to blow the engine up....

gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 8m 20d Posted 29/07/09 07:28 AM Share Posted 29/07/09 07:28 AM I was wondering about almost the same thing, except on a bf. Should be ok (I hope) if you keep off boost and only give it light throttle. I'm thinking about doing the same thing but I need to drive 2 hours (mostly freeway) for a tune.

We put a turbo on a 10.3:1CR 4cyl motor so I wired the wastegate open and just babied it there anyway.
