One thing that you lose when taking over boost is the factory overboost failsafe, which then puts the overboost protection to the throttle body. I don't know nor do I care why other tuners have had issues tuning this car in this manner, all I know is its working perfectly for us as proven by dyno as well as track times. If maintainig a stock look is a concern I'm sure I can maintain that look with some creative vacuum routing.

what first prompted you to bypass the solenoid? Was it because thats how everyone else did it, or is it seriously something that is common practice in the tuning world? I still dont fully understand how this bypass "helps" things... what exactly is it doing?
