Hey guys! I go for my first tune after I've installed my gt2871, z32 maf, sard injectors, cams and power fc. I just want to have a checklist to look over and do a thorough lookover/torquing of bolts before i take my car there to ensure everything is up to par. Also car hasn't been run in 2 months. a checklist would be nice thanks guys! any notations would help

I"ll post my results in the gt2871 users thread when I get my tune.

#1, make sure you have absolutely no boost leaks, especially at the boost you plan on running, so pressure test your system, and double check all couplers and clamps. Other than that, fresh oil, and I like to have fresh spark plugs since there cheap. And make sure your cooling system is up to par and will be able to handle repetitive runs on the dyno, hopefully they have some good air movers/fans at the shop. Basically just make sure that everything is in good shape so nothing breaks and you end up wasting a trip.
