My ute still has the stock tune in it, (CAPA box sittin in my bedroom awaiting custom tune). Ive already got a K&N panel filter and Typhoon CAI. I was intending on fitting this Monza styled intercooler and process west UBP over the weekend.

I generally baby the car around anyways, but how safe is it to drive it with these mods? Everything else is stock as a rock.

It runs BP ultimate, has newly replaced NGK platinum irridium plugs still gapped to 1.1mm. Running 5psi boost currently.

I intend on doing sorta the same thing.. Im gonna get my Valve Springs done, then flash bact to my stock tune, Add the monza and UBP, then get it tuned... I plan on doing these mods in a row, and as soon as possible one from the other so I dont drive it around as much.. I've been told by a few people its ok as long as I dont give it any 'curry' or it will just overboost and go into limp mode.

The intercooler will cause it to overboost and thus into limpmode.

Valvesprings are fine as is airfilter and UBP, but exhaust, injecotrs or cooler will end the fun

I ran my cat back exhaust , around battery pipe, PWR cooler on the generic 8psi tune, and it was fine, probably a little lean though, this was with a stock engine too

I wasnt intending on running the generics. I wanted to just keep the stock tune. So it mite be ok, provided I dont give it a boot full.

Yeah im wondering how the I/C and UBP will effect boost.....

If the ECU detects extra boost it will go into limp mode... and potentialy saving you from any damage..

with a full plazmaman stage 1 kit on the dyno with the stock tune mine ran 211.5 rwkw with perfect afr`s.at c&v.

this may vary with different coolers but I would say the cat is the thing that when changed makes the most difference to the stock tune bringing on limp mode instantly.

this is just my experience and im no expert.
