VF34 Set up on stock ECU?
I have a vf34 set up: pinks,walbro,bigger tmic,dp,up,etc..
My cobb ap will be coming in in about 2 weeks, in the meantime is it safe to drive my car on a stock ecu (02)? I would like to drive it from SF to So Cal, any precautions?

Well if you haven't driven it around town and already realized, it idles like poop, and if you try to boost at all, it will fall on its face. Which could be a rather dangerous thing if you are trying to pass a truck on the 5. Plus there could be engine problems, since it is running so rich, it could foul your plugs, and that would mean you would have to replace them, which is not that bad but they are hard to get to.

By the way driveability might not be as bad as I previously stated, I had P.E. 800cc injectors that had to be tuned down, so my idle was really bad, but with pinks it shouldn't be too bad.
