Default No problem. You *might* need an MBC in parallel to prevent boost spiking.

I did when I was running APR v5. With the EPL code, my boost is rock-solid with no spiking.

Default Expect an email in short order...gotta pcik you brain..

sort of the time tuning time line.

I emailed Mark with some questions after Kevin posted his 3- tuning results and he responded.. "Why use an MBC...not neccessary" Or something like that.. He fealt the APR code would handle the spikes..

That said, I have a VAST MBC ready to go..

Default I saw some spiking with my car so I needed an MBC.

As long as you have a boost gauge, you'll be able to tell pretty quickly wether or not you'll need to throw the MBC in.

2nd it's pretty obvious when you get TC. And putting an MBC in takes all of 10 min

If you don't have boost spikes/throttle cut then there is no need for an MBC.

Default Then you're good to go. But be careful, its a slippery slope.

In no time you'll find yourself wanting full fueling.

Default I expect that will happen...but I made it this long and probably wouldn't be

going Stage III if I wasn't forced to do the engine pull at this point.
