Default Running a Turbo PCM and set up with no Turbo???

So I am going to be taking off my STS kit and going NA for a while. My engine has issues and I have to milk it until I have cash to build my boost engine.
Anyone see any issues with just going back to a CAI with the #44 injectors?

Keep the injectors and map sensor the same and it should be fine.

Yep, agreed. I did this when I pulled off my Kenne Bell a couple years back for a bit and it ran fine. Actually I ran 2bar SD and I was NA for awhile. Ran fine, you are just not using as much of your VE table.

Ya I was NA with 72's, the injectors barely broke a sweat. Can't say the same now.

I ran a 2bar sd with 60lbs on a stock 5.3 for a while, no problems.

You'll be fine, just will never see about half of the VE and/or MAF tables.

This is making me want to do my 60# injectors and 2bar MAP and get a good NA base tune before I get my turbo on. Since Ill be doing some trans work and getting a retune from Justin by the end of October.

I ran mine N/A when i took the STS off.. just took it off and didnt retune it.. it ran fine for several months.

It depends on how it was tuned also..
