2. Does the 72mm pulley need a smaller idler pulley?
3. The instructions say not to start up the car without a tune. But it would be good to be able to start it up and make sure all the belts etc are aligned properly etc before getting it to a tuner.
- I was originally hoping I could get some sort of base tune, perhaps using my OFT just so I could nurse it to the tuners as I don't have anything to pull a car trailer with. Do most people buy an EcuTek license and cable and an e-tune and then take their car to the tuner (or just e-tune)?

1: Not necessary. You might have a very small amount of leakage possibly with the plastic ones, but it shouldn't be bad enough to change the tuning.
2: No
3: You can start it and idle it. I would not drive it.
Not sure about the tuner scene in NZ but we have e-tuned these around the world. A lot of work went into getting it right. The high compression coupled with high temps and instant boost is something that took a long time to iron out.
