Please include context when you reply, not everyone's newsreader threads the same way you do. I'm not sure who Gary is, either. Maybe you're seeing posts I'm not? I certainly didn't see the word "moron" from anyone but you. > Immediately calling me a moron for applying this modification > that does wonders. If you're hitting your car's overboost "let's cut off the fuel system before the engine blows up for unsafe load condition reasons" limit, you're doing something to it, but I wouldn't call it "wonderful". > I have spoken to my technician about the MBC, which > he has done to his own cars, and encouraged me to do to my own, t5 by > the way. Right, it makes sense that the person working for the company selling it would say it's a great idea. Do you go to a barber to ask if you need a haircut, or do you ask someone who doesn't have money to gain depending on what answer they give? I mean, knock yourself out and all that with your manual switch, but if you think that you're safely getting power out of your engine, and that you can do this better with an MBC than an engine management system can do, and can do it safer for the engine, go right ahead. However, just the fact that you had to ask what was happening when you hit fuel cutoff shows that you don't understand the system even on a trivial level, let alone to the level needed to decide if it's a valid and safe technique or not.
