boost fooler necessary?
Is a boost fooler necessary these days? I keep reading mixed reviews on theses things. Plus, some people are saying that tuning takes care of the overboost/defueling problem and a boost fooler is not necessary. Is this true? I'm about to install the S366.

Tuning takes care of defueling but it won't save your map sensor. So I would use the boost fooler.

I just had to replace my MAP sensor. I did the S366 over a year ago. Don't know if that is what made the MAP fail, or if it just failed. I think I'm gonna install one though.

The boost fooler is to fool the map sensor.
The OBS trucks dont take enough map readings to really "need" it.
Thats what I was told anyways.
There are tons more things to tune on a superduty.
