It'll drive fine and get you from A to B until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t just dump on a full exhaust system and expect the ecu to control a bunch of additional flow without being tuned to suit Anything - Except a factory actuator swopped with another factory psi spec actuator will require a custom tune to suit You don’t need a new actuator, you need a tune as you’ve mentioned but driving it without a tune needs to be super grandma spec as a 12psi actuator can bang in big boost quick and pop an engine Edited 01/11/20 09:40 AM by JETURBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
