a stock map seeing any boost would do it if its not a modified rom with tables extending into positive manifold pressure.

but if its chipped and all that, no, it wouldnt.

try using a the Missing Link(check valve) it prevents the ecu from seeing boost in the manifold http://www.synapseengineering.com/pr...ssinglink.html
