Its not really advisable but yes you could... I would wait until you can afford to get it mapped.  :happy2:

The top tuners on this site say its fine to do so if you drive gently (keeping boost down). James drove from Kent to Leicestershire this way with no issues  :happy2:

Sammy chose to ignore this advice and persistently thrashed it.  :stupid:

Would it be alright to drive it off boost for couple day and travel from London to Leicester to get mapped?

I won't be driving like sammy did lol.

If you have revo, put it back to stock in addition to keeping it off boost till you get the proper k04 mapping.
