if i run a boost bypass for my lightning will i still have a rev-limiter? should i rerun my pink wire or put on a new 3/16 hose? what are the ups and downs of doing this?

 

Hmm, did it to my L and still can adjust the rev limiter through my predator tuner so I don't think it affects that function, could be wrong, but something kicks in when I set it because I was testing it one day and had it set to like 3000 rpm's and it wouldn't rev past that...

 

Boost Bypass will not affect your rev limiter at all. It is controlled by the computer and can only be adjusted or removed by a tuner or chip. As far as re running your pink line or getting a new hose, whatever suits your fancy. The ups are supposed to be that the bypass doesnt kick in and keep you from not having any boost, although I have never heard of anyone actually having this problem personally, I guess it does exist. If it has happened to someone, please post up, I'd like to hear it. I have this mod installed on my truck and have a 4# pulley and have never had any boost problems. The downs is that the mileage goes down a little bit. Never measured it and I am a leadfoot, but it seems to have lost a few MPG. That and I guess its not emissions legal. Other than that, I dont think there are any other downs. http://www.*********.com/boost%20bypass.htm
