So I am switching from a Tomei m7960 to a garret gtx2867.

My question: how far will my tune be off. I am not changing anything elese:

s14sr20det
bc 264/264 cams
750cc inj
z32 maf

what should I expect to be off about the tune?

I am trying to hold off getting it redone right now because I want to do the e85 switch but I need to get a few more things lined up first.

it shouldnt change anything... you may want to lower the boost a pound or 2 just to make sure or just pay attention to your wideband first time you rip it

It won't be "off" really.
The MAF will compensate the change of air difference from the new turbo.
However, a re-tune for that turbo will most likely optimize the power curve for it's given size.

I went from a t3/t4 on my KA24DE to a GTX2867r and there's no difference in the way the car drives on an enthalpy tune.

Get it retuned, why risk it?

Because there isn't much risk if any at all, a 2867 vs a 20G (68mm exducer), sure going from a GT2560 -> 2871 big difference, but here the two turbos are very close to each other.
