Default help a newbie out...Please?

Hello I am new to posting and in need of some help with suggestins or tips with my build
I recently just pullled my motor and went over it with a new gaskets and a gates racing timing belt kit w/water pump and all the goodies.I then did my own tgv deletes and p&p my intake .I have a header and up pipe and down pipe and hks catback but no cats.then I did a blouch 18g xt turbo and d/w 750 injectors and I already had a aem cai.I have a tial 44 with a new up pipe but I didn't put it in cuz it against my downpipe. The dumptube is to long so I have to get it shortened so I used my stock waistgate actuator and any time I get on it it throws the p0244 dtc code.I know I need a tune and I forgot to mention I have a cobb that im using to try and manage a little.but until I break the clutch in I cant get tuned I talked to ivey tuning as I live in n.j. and I will get there soon but as for the present could someone please help me trying to make my car run a little better for now.and I aplogize for seeming stupid as I hate typing

Don't drive the car AT ALL until you get some type of a break in tune done.

Get an e tune, various tuners offer these. I know of Clark turner and torqued performance that do e tunes. Also search phatbotti. That'll be the best easiest cheapest way for you to go. Do it quick cuz your gonna blow up your motor with no tune and those mods.

I'm telling you! Stop driving your car if you are! You don't NEED a wideband! It's nice to have for peace of mind.

You cannot just run a stage 2 map using a completely different set up then the Cobb map specifies.
Get an e-tune. Do more reading on everything you have and understand how everything works.

its parked im not going to drive it but i am considering putting my stock turbo back on for safety and just wait until the clutch is broke in and what else can you suggest before i go get pro tuned and how bad will it load up with those big ass injectors if i did put the stock turbo on

Putting stock dp on is not gonna help. Everything you have on there you need to tune for or drivability is lost.

When I put the stock turbo back on the only diffrence from before will be the injectors everthing else ran great with the stage two map from cobb and a few tweaks with atr for my tgvs.so why would drivability be shot. I fully understand components and what one does to another .basically I started this thread so I could see if somone with similar mods has some expierience or maybe has an atr map to help my sitiuaton. But I still value your input so please elaborate so I can make the best informed decision possible. And thank you

Mmm I just never consider running injectors untuned. You just never wanna put these motors through anything they don't have to be through.

Treat your baby nicely, always with a good tune rather then puttin by. Treat her with love and she will do the same.

Not exactly sure what the issue here is?

You need a tune. Cobb doesn't make ots 750cc maps.

For an etune I require that u have a wideband. If you go into a shop you don't need one cause their dyno will have one. But I still think its a must have mod for all cars.

I already answered the wideband part.

If you get an etune a wideband is required.

If you go to a dyno in person the shop will have a wideband on the dyno.

Wideband wasn't required for my e tune. I log constantly. I know it's a need for most. But not in my budget for the time to be. Tough times and my etune runs fantastic.
