Default What does everyone do after a big install at their house to get it to the tuner?

I'm gathering the parts to do a Turbo, EWG, injectors, ect upgrade on my STi. Question I have is what do you guys do to get the car to the tuner?

Load the closest appropriate map [understanding that most/many of your mods will not match] and drive like a granny.

If there is not a map that's even close to what you're doing, contact your tuner and have them send you the base map they'll start the tune with.

Call your tuner and see if they can make you a temporary map to drive there with. They usually charge about 100 bucks but you will have to ask your tuner.

I had to drive 5hrs to get to TopSpeed. They made a "limp" map for me but only after I made the appt. The car drove great but you MUST drive it like a granny. Easy and off boost. Call your tuner and ask them what you should do if you are in doubt.
