need to nerf/valet mode my evo

Dropping my car off monday to get body work done (rear ended fri morning ) and i want to enable a valet style mode to add some piece of mind to the repair process. i have ecu flash and was going to load a stock base map and then drop the stationary rev limiter to 2k and the normal rev limiter to 4k. I was also thinking of zeroing out the waste gate duty cycles. anyone have any other suggestions? also which wgdc map do i need to zero out to lower boost?

thanks

thanks!
I just tested it and i got it up to 15 psi at 4k when it hit the rev limiter so i have a much better feeling now about handing the car to someone else. 2k stationary limiter makes me laugh

Why would they even need to drive your vehicle (body work, not mechanical) more then 500ft at most to complete your issue. Log your miles with a picture that is time stamped or better yet im sure you will be having someone pick you up when you drop the car off for the work (have them confirm the odometer miles) Any unexplained miles, and it could be small claims court for that buisness.

Though your idea does offer the ultimate piece of mind...
