so heres the deal with my turbo setup

well ive figured out for the most part every part i will need to do my turbo project..the only problem i have is tuning...and i know what im going to do with that....i plan on driving to pcmforless in north carolina from martinsburg wv....they said for 400 the will tune on dyno....my question is do i install the parts and all for the turbo up here and then drive down there or do i just take everything to them and let them do it? they do have a shop by the way

With all that modification your doing I would HIGHLY advise against installing the parts and driving with out a proper tune. Even light driving you could seriously damage something. See if someone around you is nice enough to tune your so it's "drivable". Such as someone with HPTuners and a little knowledge. Just so you don't have crazy A/F ratios, and you don't get any knock. Then drive it to a dyno tune. If you don't have that option you're better off letting them do the install.

If you want to do the work yourself just find someone with a trailer and tow it there. The car should be okay to drive it on and off a trailer.
