Will the car go nuts if we unplug that boost bleeding TB? I know someone has tried it and I wonder how much that sucker is holding us back

Can still drive but it feels like a Sentra.
I did do something cool though. I plugged it into a spare bypass TB that I had and drove around watching it against my windshield (it's Utah...noone cares). AMAZING watching it work. It closes identically with your pedal push. I mean real fast!! As you are cruising half throttle, it's half open. Punch it and she slams shut......even my little shaking in the foot was matched.

Already done, it goes into limp mode.
