Ported 9 turbo untuned... Is it safe???

I got a ported nine turbo and EPM o2 dump and perrin intake waiting to be installed. Is it cool to run without a tune? I ask because the shop I go to installs at one place and tunes at another.

My mods are
Blitz intake cover
DP
HFC
Cat back
Megan manifold
invidia o2 that will be switched out
hks 264/272
Cam gears
modified fuel pump
Vishnu Tuned

I wouldn't race without a tune but for daily-driving it will be fine.

*edit*
I see that you're previously tuned so you'll really be fine driving around a bit until you get a chance for a new tune.

I would suggest a walbro. I see you have a "modified" fuel pump. I would only keep it if you feel comfortable with the modification.

The intake needs more of a tune than a ported 9 turbo. You just won't get the full potential of a 9 turbo on your 8 without a tune.

I think those mods warrant a good tune.
