how dangerous is it for me to be running with no fuel management right now? i've got my timing retarded almost all the way, running 93 oct., intercooled (and it's actually pretty cool out), and not boosting over 3 psi, if any at all?? i know pat said he did this for a while, but is it really that dangerous? i'm seriously in vacuum most of the time, so does it matter? but every now and then i'll get it up to about 2-3 psi just so i can blow off anyways, i didn't have a choice, my ecu isn't ------- here yet, and i missed work yesterday cause i didn't want to drive it that far like that. hopefully, my ecu will be here today, but i just want a piece of mind that what i'm doing is not ------- up my engine

I would'nt worry about it man. Just keep out of boost as much as possible.

yeah, according to the a/f gauge it's running rich, but i'm just paranoid and thinking i'm hearing detonation, but it's prolly just an exhasut leak cause i only have 3 bolts on my down pipe flange

Is it really worth ------- up your setup and losing your low down power just for the sound of the BOV? and for only 3 psi as well, I wouldnt do it, what are you doing for fuel by the way?

projekteg

well, it's kind of impossible not to go in to boost at all, 2-3 psi isn't really ----, it doesn't even kick in the map sensor check light until over 3 and i'm not hanging out in boost, i'm watching my boost gauge instead of my tach, and as soon as i get at about 1 psi, i'm shifting, i'm just saying, it's gone up to about 3 psi a few times, but i'm not holding it there if you know what i mean. i'm going to be running uberdata as soon as my ------- ecu gets here, i've been waiting on it since last week and should be here today.

don't have a wastegate, my down pipe is welded up with a block off plate for external wastegate which should be here thursday.

how bout u disconnect the charge pipe and just run a filter again until ur ready to boost?

and kill my turbo spoolin the ---- out of it, no thanks, i think i'm safer as is
