Default Driving car before remap

Hi,
i plan to fit bigger injectors, fuel pump, turbo, manifold and exhaust to my car. Will it be ok to drive the car off boost for approx. 60 miles before i get it remapped or will it be better to take it on a transporter?

Thanks
Harry

Yep drive it off boost all the way, I done over 200 miles to Andy F off boost with bigger injectors, decat and uprated fuel pump. Done no harm to the engine, good fun on the way back.

No issue.. the ecu will pull the fuelling inline off boost via the lambda sensor as you are going from 550 to 650cc only etc..
