Default Turbo Civic Running Lean/Rich Check Code 22

I just finished installing Turbo on my 95 civic. Running custom phearable chiped ecu on 450cc DSM injectors. Car cranks and drives, i just want to be safe until i get it dyno tuned. How do i know if it's running Rich or lean? Will it be ok to drive till i tune it?

It's nota good idea to drive it untuned but if you must then just don't go into boost. Get a wideband o2 sensor to see if you are lean/stoich/rich. Get it tuned asap.

Just leave it as is, drive it as little as possible, and when you do drive it don't touch boost.

Do not unplug the wastegate vacuum!!! If you do it will never open, 60psi what?

Just take it easy on the throttle and you'll be fine, get it tune as soon as possible.

running too rich is safer than running too lean, to an extent...

until it's tuned, don't drive your car anywhere other than to the dyno. And before you go, change your oil. Have a new set of spark plugs to put in once you get there.
