OFF means according to the manual that factory stock boost remains. Not boost being off. Who knows, maybe the translation is wrong, but I just read it again and thats what off means. The quote from the manual is "when set to OFF the stock boost is used"

bring it over dude.
I'm going to go get some gas right now.
Call me if you want to meet or something.
I'm going to the 76 on King for some 100 octane.

If it's hooked up correctly your factory boost solinoid sp? shouldn't be in the loop. So when it's turned OFF you're only getting wastegate boost, 8psi or so in all gears.

I say turn it on.

Just my $0.02

But that's not worth much. :P

But why not turn it on and try it out?
