    You can run it without the belt...and its probably a good idea until you get it tuned

    You can run the blower without a belt, just dont get into the throttle at all.

    Wait, you want to run an N/A series II tune on a S/C Series III motor? I think that's going to be a big problem. I could have read the OP wrong though..

    correct, but im using all the stock sensors for a series 2 the only difference is the high rate injectors and the map sensors. i just want to drive it the get the exhaust on and then take it to get tuned.

    How far will you be driving? and will you be doing highway speeds?

    You should be fine to drive a few miles, with a very gentle foot.
    Are you using GTP 33# injectors?

    a few miles, i might need to get on the highway and yse im useing stock 97 gtp injectors. i just want to know what map sensor to use. 1 bar or 2 bar? i know i need the 2 bar for the tune but i think maybe the one bar might help me get to the shops.

    Yeah the PCM is set to run for the 1bar MAP. Use that until you can get it tuned...and again I urge caution on driving it.

    If you do, make sure to be very, very gentle on the gas, dont want to **** up all that work.

    But get it tuned ASAP, that way you can ring it out XD

    Horrible idea.

    You will be throwing roughly 2x more fuel than you need to... I wouldnt risk washing cylinders running 33# injectors on a 18# injector tune.

    You have to tune it anyway, so just wait till you "get it tuned", or find a stock GTP pcm.
