Smile Tuning Advice After Work Done

I have added many new parts to my 1994 classic was wondering if I should have it mapped asap of if it would be ok to drive just need doing to get the most out of the mods? I have got a apexi power fc with boost control kit and have done the followin, I have installed P1 rear diff, Gearbox, paddle clutch, lightened flywheel, stainless tublar headers with matching uppipe heat wrapped, alloy crank pulley, lost the air con pump with belt. The car was mapped before all this work was carried out and wanted to ask some advice before I started to put it through its paces. Just want to know if its safe to drive for now?

I wouldn't take any chances myself and would get it mapped asap, especially after all the time and money you have just put into the car.

it might just need a tweak on the map which would not cost to much if you have already had a custom map, Do you know who originally mapped it ?

needs mapping mainly for the header change and the possible extra load if gearing is longer, asap.. drive it off boost/below 3000rpm..
