Spoolin is just messing with you. Don't run it without a tune. IT WILL RUN RICH, rich enough that it will dump fuel at idle. If the computer thinks you have the stock injectors and sends the same commanded pulse width to the larger injectors then it will effectively dump twice the fuel. Wait till you have a proper tune.

Either one is very bad. Running that setup untuned for any amount of time is a very bad idea.

I recently procharged my truck and just left the stock I jectors in it until I could get it tuned, and it ran fine but like he said stay out of boost or your trucks computer will go into a protect mode and u can only go like ten mph until you park and shut it off and take out you key for like ten seconds. I thought I blew it up the first time it happened!
