Not a good idea since the car will not have the boost/timing maps that a chipped car has.

Agreed without the chip this is just a waste of time. Your ECU will see it as an over boost thereby cutting off the fuel supply. You will be loosing more than you can gain.

Unless he permanently grounds that cutoff wire from the ECU. I ran an old 5000 like that for a while it works awesome. No knocking, but it stumbled a little at about 2.0 bar.
