I think it's a good mod just not done that way to where the bypass is disabled 100%.

It's my understanding there are some circumstances where you want it to bypass.

like normal engine operation for efficiency and for engine safety if the ECU detects a problem

not sure what all other reasons there are maybe someone else will chime in.

Definitely do not do the mod this way. Do it in your tune. Terminator FAQs

man I need to make some time to read that site !


good quote for the OP taken from Cobrabobs website

Mechanically bypassing by disconnecting wiring or re-routing vacuum is NOT the right way because you are eliminating the PCM's ability to pull boost in case of high heat, sensor failures, etc. This is a FAIL-SAFE feature and is something that is foolish to ignore."
