hmm so a shop says it's not bad, but it seems the consensus here is that it's bad?

i'm not going to put the DP on until i get an AP to stay on the safe side, but i wonder why some people think it's ok, others don't. any shops want to chime in on this lovely debate?

(thx again all, i appreciate the honesty)

we always tell folks to make sure you have engine management to ensure proper tune w/ a TBE.

Will it run w/o it yes. is it advised, no. Will most people do what they want...Most often yes. It is what it is.

that's our companies $0.02

You should post the name of the shop.
