That someone needs to have the pocket programmer and the Hondata Tuning Software installed to flash the chip... not as easy as asking someone to just give it to you.

Sounded like you were telling him to put the stock injectors in AND put an FMU on. h:

Yeah I was so he could drive to the shop to have his hondata tuned. Bellingham is on the border of washington and canada so I figured it was a trip north for him, hence the trip up north part.
A little confusion on both parts.

you only need to put the injectors in, not the fmu. i wouldn't hit boost at all till it's tuned, and it'll run fine with no fmu and stock injectors provided you dont hit boost.

That is true. Thats what I did when I drove my car 25 miles to get it tuned.
I ran 310cc injectors until I got to the shop, then installed the 72# injectors and hondata. they then tuned it.
Luckly my turbo is large enough that it was pretty easy to stay out of boost.
