My question:
Is it okay to have them install the kit but not reflash or tune the car, test drive it to make sure all is working then myself do the tune for the car in the parking lot of the dealers?
would this cause any damage to the engine driving it (at low revs) before any tune/reflash?
excuse my ignorance, still learning.
thank you in advance

Here's my shot from the hip...
You'd probably want to have someone like Moto-East ( I use them and they're good) send you a tune file (you'll need a laptop, ecutek cable and license for the car). Have the dealer install the parts (unless you can find someone else like a performance mechanic). After the dealer installs it and before they start the car you'd flash the ecu with the supercharger tune, then you'd start the car for the first time post supercharger. Bad idea to run the car without a tune after the supercharger. Applying a tune only takes minutes if you have everything already setup on the laptop already and know where to click to do the flash.
