Is it safe to drive with mods with out a tune or flash
I plane on doing Buschur stage 4 all at once, but I know I can’t install all of the parts in one day,
Is it safe to drive around with all these mods with out a tune, it will take me at least a week part time to finish, then the closes dynoflash is 4 hrs a way
the parts include
cams
intake
fuel pump
injectors
fmic
Thank for the help

Leave the injectors out until you get a tune or you probably won't run to good. You can drive around with all the other parts fine but will get a more beneficial gain from the parts once your car is tuned.

I don't know how the Evo's ECU operates, but on STis you DEFINITELY need to do an ECU tune. I would assume it's the same with an Evo, especially after upgrading with major mods such as a cam.
