[QUOTE="FireRed04Vert, post: 1566575, member: 21229"] Guys...I think you're playing with fire here. There are conditions where Ford felt it was necessary to dump boost. However, if you feel you HAVE to do this mod, then it seems to me that a simple switch wired in series with the solenoid would be the way to go. Leave it operating as designed until you need to disable it (i.e. an LS1 at your door!) Then, simple flip the switch from the comfort of your seat and kill the power to the solenoid (or apply it, whatever the case may be). It will still set a soft code, but at least the system will operate as designed all other times. It seems to me that one change that will occur with this mod is boost at cruise speeds. Boost is dumped when you're just toodling down the highway...which is good. If you disable the boost dump, there will be some sort of boost there and mileage (and wear and tear) will suffer. Therefore, unless you could keep the system operating except for the rare few times you have to have it disabled, you risk trouble. A simple electrical switch fixes this. (IMHO) However, I have not researched the wiring circuits, so I'm not positive this is practical...but it sure seems it would. To clear soft codes, use a scan tool (a Predator should do it)...or....disconnect the battery for a few minutes...or it will clear itself after several drive cycles if the problem doesn't re-manifest itself during that time. By the way, if the electrical switch is a possibility, then it may also be possibe to tap into the circuit somewhere in the interior of the vehicle and thus will show no evidence of tampering under the hood!
