Default What would possibly happen

What could possibly happen if I did a single turbo on my lq4 6.0 with a large cam and bolt ons without redoing the tune from the current nelson n/a tune? Compression around 10.5:1 with the current set up.

I'm guessing you need to know this so you can install the setup somewhere and try to drive it somewhere else to get it tuned?

Exactly. ha. I was pretty sure that would be the case but wasnt sure of what level the computer was capable of compensating. and yeah I was thinking of doing a homemade setup and then either driving it somewhere to get it dyno tuned or etc.

If you do it just leave the pipe off from the intercooler to the throttle body and you wont have to worry about getting into boost on the way to get it tuned.
