Open veins at idle?
Hello, I was curious if I got a custom tune with open veins at idle would that affect normal driving at all? To me it doesn't seem like it would but better to know other options before I get a tune with open veins written into it. Also does anyone know if quick tricks would write open veins at idle into their Looney tune?

If you have a laptop you can download Forscan for free, then just get an ELM 327 for the OBD port to communicate with the laptop.
Forscan has a ton of cool feature, one them is the ability to control the VGT with a slidebar if I remember correctly.
That might help you figure out how it affect things, just a word of caution if you are after smoke. It's going to lag badly and soot the turbo up a lot quicker, we all know soot is the last thing these turbos need with the variable veins.
I know my son who actually owns the truck has done the trick a few times where you unplug the VGT....he likes the way it sounds. I told him to knock it off after I noticed the plug was starting to chip from him taking it off
I remember reading somewhere that guys will wire a switch into the solenoid pigtail. I think it's the blue wire, all the switch does is complete the circuit.
