Want awesome boost for free and 5 min. of time?

Simple. Remove the vac. line going to your pressure transducer and plug it w/ a screw of correct size. Now be careful because you may snap your neck. I found this out by accident. I bought a 90 SPG that had stratospheric boost levels( 3/4 red) and couldn't figure out why. It had a RRFP and K+N filter and stock APC. I decided to investigate this phenomenon. I discovered the vac. line going to the press. xducer was plugged with a screw purposely. The APC still controlled boost and would drop boost when brake pedal is depressed, cruise is on, or when rpm's climb(normal boost taper). However, I 'm not sure how safe this acually is.
Therefore, I returned the vac line to the pres. xducer and well... normal boost(max boost just touching red). How depressing, it's not really fast anymore so I then tweaked the APC per "tweakyourAPC" instructions. Now will boost about 1/3 red- not too bad, definately slower but now it's safe- I think.
Do this at your own risk
