Help - Drivable Base Tune 83 280zx upgrade with MS3

So, I am nearing completion of a very painful project. In August of last year, I put my car in the shop to have the AC fixed and the clutch checked out. They told me that I needed a new clutch, so I ordered the Spec stage 2 billet clutch and flywheel for them to install. They got that installed and then after starting the car before buttoning it up, it would not start again. After a month of troubleshooting and trying a different ecu that I had on hand, we decided to do some upgrading, I decided to go with a standalone for fuel and spark and went with the MS3 plug-and-play from Godzilla. I also decided to turbocharge and went with the following upgrades. The problem is that the installation was completed last week, and the base tune is missing.  The shop has the car idling (it sounds great), but they are ready for me to take it away, and it is not drivable. They would be happy to tune it for me, but I am well out of money and budget, the install for everything turned out to be over 4x what I had planned for. I had planned on tweaking the base tune myself, but am out of my league at this point. I have a call/email into Chris at Godzilla, but tomorrow is the day I have to go see the shop.

I was hoping someone here may have a tune that I could install and use to get the car home, I really do not want to have it towed.

Maybe chickenman #richard Boyk will read this and help you out . Might try Facebook on the church of L page . Many people there can help too . I run NA so not sure that would be a good tune for you . Hopefully Chris will respond also . So it starts and idle but what’s the issue with driving ?

Thanks, it seems like I may need to reach out to Chickenman.  The shop is willing to wait a couple of days more to see if Chris responds. The harness that I have does not have a wire to connect an ICV, let alone the one that came with the ProTunerz throttle body. I misspoke, the shop does not want to do a tune on my car since the icv is not installed and there is no knock sensor with the "plug and play" product.

It did not start until the mechanic added 80% more fuel at idle. It dies with any added throttle. He is also a tuner, but would be starting out from scratch with the current fuel tables and I really don't have the money for that at this point since I was expecting a base tune that would just need to be tweaked. I do want to add the ICV and probably an anti-knock sensor in the near future, but at this point, I need the car driveable and some time to collect some money.
