Remove the pink line from the top of the boost control diaphram valve, (not the selenoid valve) and plug it with a 1/4" bolt cut to about 3/4 inch long but that still has about 1/4" of smooth shank so you don't get an air leak, or use a 1/4" hose mender and a 1/4" cap.

Next, get 3/16" Tee to put it into the boost hose that goes into the firewall and up to the boost gauge(there is a white 3/16" hose mender in this location stock). Get 9" of 3/16 fuel rubber fuel line to go from this Tee to the top of the boost control valve.

The result is the computer will no longer have the ability to dump boost at the shift (torque reduction) or as part of the over-rev protection. THe computer will never know and will not throw a soft or hard code. The boost bypass will still be active at idle thru near zero vacume, and closed shut in all boost conditions.

You will be done by noon

Hope this helps

Andy
