Default Safe to drive to mapper after fitting new parts?

Afternoon all,

Iv previously had my car (2003 wrx) remapped to my current mods, (Td04 hybrid turbo, sti up pipe, pink injectors, 3 port boost solinoid, walbro fuel pump, sti top mount intercooler, blitz nur spec exhaust, racing down pipe, green drop in panel filter and sti inlet with tgv deletes, but ill soon be fitting a harvey up pipe and ported standard headers and APS 70mm cai kit to the car, but will I be able to drive the car approx 25 miles to where the mapper is based without causing any harm or will the car need to be towed?

Thanks in advance.

If you are just fitting headers/uppipe and intake you should be fine as long as you drive off boost.

the cai may cause running issues, it did with mine and keeping the engine running whilst driving through town was difficult. It was ok once on the open road but it did run rough.
