First off I want to say, I did a extensive research, and never really found any long term results. So I decided I would just try it. I took the back rubber line off of the bypass, as instructed. Plugged it off, and started driving. At first drive, I noticed a easier take off, there was a little more power in there. I noticed on certain cooler evenings, I could get 2 more psi then before. It was all cool until today. It had been roughly 5 weeks. I hadn't really done much long freeway driving. I drove about 40 miles. About 30 miles in the car jerked and felt like it was cutting out. About every 2 miles until I reached my destination it would do this. My first thought was fuel filter, or O2 sensor. I had to make a 20 mile trip tonight and it was not getting any better. I made it about 1/4 of my way home, when I jerked really hard. I was at the point, of calling a tow truck. I stopped to grab some dinner, so I thought Maybe it is the boost bypass mod. I plugged it back in, grabbed dinner and headed home. For the next 15 miles home, it ran perfect. It did not jerk once. I will be driving it more tomorrow, so if any else changes I will update.

Here is the cliff notes:

Is it worth doing it? Yes for short trips, Mexico or The Drag Strip.

Did my mpg go down? No it got better.

How was day to day. As long as I was just in the city, It ran perfect and did for the most part of my short freeway sprints.

At the end, I was getting a 1200 rpm normal idle. It should be around 800. give or take.

Would I recommend it? No, especially not long term.

I hope this finally clears up this old question.

Also I hope this is in the right section.

 

Thanks

 

We knew this was a bad idea over 7 years ago, but thanks for the reminder. lol

 

Well everyone said it was, but it was never confirmed. I am confirming it for the first time.

 

To update, took the car out just a little while ago. Fixed 100% of the problem. So that means long term, the boost bypass mod will mess your car up.

 

thanks for checkin lol

 

did you throw a code?

 

No codes.

 

so if I do this then hit the track and plug it back when I leave im golden? and im fastaaaaa? lol

 

I saw a 1-2 psi increase, but I would not recommend it for a long period. Drove the car again. It is running great. Back to her old self.

 

Do some before and after pulls on the dyno. It'll be the only way to tell you if it actually made a difference or not
