cant believe you dont know what my avatar is from...please go to youtube and search "zombie turtles". This kid is my hero lol

Back on topic, TT said that if i disconnect the meth and turn the boost down to stock or even below i will still be running lean due to the removal of the extra fuel which is the 100% meth. Had a feeling this would be the case but wanted to make sure. In other words, for anyone who is tuned for meth and high boost....dont think your safe by turning the boost down and not running the meth.

The only concerns I have are if I am tuned for 28psi and meth under WOT and now I will have no meth and 21psi will I harm the engine? I don’t plan on ripping the car around 24/7 like this but im sure there will be a couple occasions over the winter I will do some WOT driving. Ive been waiting for Snow to release the new failsafe but there have been delays. Thanks!

Hmmmm.......... I like turtles.

i know sombody suggested this prior, but just flash your ECU for the lowered boost level, minus the meth and be fine with it till the weather permits...

Right, if you have another map tuned for for pump only without meth, then you will be fine.

But yes, you cannot just remove the meth and lower the boost levels.

Don't worry about it. Stay WOT. If it goes boom, then build it bigger and stronger (like a 2.3L/42R) that way you'll catch up with that Ferrari **** that much faster.

Or you could just stay out of boost and when you do need to go WOT to catch a girl you could just refill your tank. Lol. please no dead animals.

Meth... W/O and lower boost...

Depending on your alcohol to fuel ratio. If Its not too hi and you have an AFC to back your flash. Fuel could be added w/AFC which will also decrease timing a little and allow a soft and safe tune verified with a wide band O2. Todd
