I just got my grimmspeed 3 port in the mail today.
Question is can i fit it up and still safely drive it to get a tune or will there be dramas?

[Kekotic]

I'm pretty sure you cannot drive it without a tune.
Also where did you buy yours from?

postage was About $35 but i live in tassie and i got some other stuff to make it worth while Cost $100aus at the time of conversion.

Good price. I got mine at Tuspeed for about the same price.

You need a tune however once installed.

it will be getting a tune done i just need to no can i fit it up then drive very sedately 5km to the tuner.

[bass_straitener]

Why not just drive there and fit it yourself at the workshop in the driveway. Doesn't take much.

I personally wouldn't take a chance. When I had mine done at the tuner it cost me $20 which seemed a small price to pay for peace of mind.

The answer is no.

If you were going to tell me you were getting your engine rebuilt, can I wind up the boost to 2 bar and put the solenoid on to drive to the tuner, I'd say yes.

Yes

[lunchboxsti]

two no's and a yes, any one else want to add?

[Kekotic]

Coyote says yes, disregard everything else.

Just drive it sedately / not boosting.

"I don't really know"

Coyote says yes, disregard everything else.

Also valid

Its a yes!!

I know because ive done it!! Aslong as you take it easy and arent belting the car its fine. I was monitoring boost on my ecudatascan and i just drove it off boost or with very minimal. Even the tuner said it was fine.

Contemplaiting puting a 3-port on at the time when Matt from KiDo does the road tune in the near future....
Car is stock, but thinking as he is tweaking the ecu may as well sneak up the boost a little ??

Im very new to tuning , so go easy on my ignorance lol

Any comments appreciated

Matt took mine from 13 to 18psi by memory, I do have a bigger top mount and forester(?) ecu or set up or something, its friday and I can't remember (Matt said this and since I'm no expert I'm not arguing)

hmm I just want to go enough without reducing the lifspan of the engine .. i droped him an email so will see what he has to say, interested if its a simple plug and play install also (looking at the Pierburg model) , hopfully so.
