Running larger injectors on the stock tune would be a disaster

just let the car sit until you can get a tune!

I know you dont have the money if something were to go wrong, its not like you dont have a different vehicle you can drive around in the time being. Yes it sucks, but letting your car sit is seriously the best option until you get that tune. Unless you like doing rebuilds or something...

you could trash the cylinders with all that fuel from not being tuned. just leave it alone.

thats what i was thinking, or if ur not tuned maybe ur stock powerband cant spool it. but i assume youd be able to get a couple of pounds of boost. still wouldnt worry about until u get a tune and can drive ur car safer
