Boost Bypass..Ok is this a good or bad idea to do...

 

It's a Must

Here's your two choices
Either just unplug it,



Or do by re-routing the Vac (thats how I did mine)

 

All you need is a small Vac tee

Simply unplug the pink line from it's original spot.
Then put a little screw in the place it WAS plug into.
Then locate the other line, AND THE FACTORY SPLICE,
Simply relace splice with a Tee, and put the Pink line there.

ALL DONE

 

just unplug it and leave it unpluged thats it???Dont have to cap it or anything??

 

YEP

Just unplug it and have fun

 

or just get a chip from PSP that does it through the pcm

 

Cool i know the stock boost is 8psi well im hittin almost 10 now after takin that piece out..

 

Question: Why didn't ford want the lightning to go past 8lb's? is it really safe to have that much boost?

The Eaton's are most efficient up to 8psi (many on this board will disagree with this). Adding more boost will make more power, but the heat efficiency declines as boost increases.

BTW, the boost bypass has no effect on total boost. It just prevents dumping boost during shifts. That's it.

 

Nice! Thank you for the reply TWR!

 

I've had mine unplugged for months now. What exactly did I do by unplugging the boost bypass? Someone said I dont dump boost between shifts, is that all? Why does it come like it does, and how can we get away with bypassing the bypass?

it pulls boost off during shifts to save the stress on the tranny

 

hello all my L is stock will it be ok if i just unplug the boost bypass i just want to make sure it won't hurt anything

 

I did a 'search' and here is all the info you need . Be sure you read all of Lightningtuner's posts, especially on pg. 2.
