Curiosity question. If you get on the dyno, and go full boost untuned (or start to be tuned), are the chances of blowing your engine high?

you watch your gauges, you should be just fine, and just let off if you get knock or start to go lean. no big deal just a reason to pay the money to go to a legit tuner.

Go to someone who knows what their doing, and you wont end up with a dead car on the dyno.



Does it happen? Absolutely! Can it be prevented? Definitely! Just know your tuner, make sure they have good experience, and dont go to some fly-by-night guy who just opened and doesnt know the difference between an A/F gauge and a wideband.
