Default Will It Be Safe To Drive???

I've just had my car fitted with a load of goodies.

Prior to all the mods is had a green panel filter and a decatt centre section and back box from revolution. I had it rolling road tuned and it produce 269 with a really smooth power line.

I've just had the following fitted, Hayward & Scott Bell mouth decatt down pipe, Scooby sport equal lenght headers, Apexi power FC and Commander, Apexi power intake, Apexi 550cc injectors, Apexi AVC-R, Walbro 255 fule pump, SX FPR, FMIC and a few other goodies.

Now, I know the car will need setting up and this will be done by Engine Advatage on the 24th of this month.

My question is, can I drive my car to them? Or is it adviseable to have it trailered? If I drive the car off boost will it be OK?

The distance I'll have to travel would be around 25miles.

I'm not sure if the Power FC was new or second hand I can't remember.

I think the new FC's have a base map installed on it for the impreza, but i would be tempted find alternative travel arrangements, others may have better info.

Just remember if you tow it that all four wheels need to be on the ground.

If you are in the AA you can request a scheduled recovery. They only do it for that day, so you need to phone at like 1min past midnight on the day you want it moving. Just tell them that it's a non starter or that all the water has leaked out and you have been told not to start it etc. They will bring a low loader and winch it on.
