    Another Dumb Question About The Boost Bypass Mod?

    :-D Is the boost bypass mod necessary once you have a custom tune? Does the custom tune prevent the boost dump or should I go ahead and do the boost bypass mod after my pulley and tune install? I appreciate it.

    Dropping The Hitch Assembly...Good Idea?

    Well since I don't own a boat, camper or trailer and I don't do any towing, would dropping the hitch assembly be a good idea? Dead weight but it is in the rear might help with traction? :shrug:
