Same thing that happens to a car running nitrous when they go lean. BOOM

If you run lean under high boost, you will almost certainly go boom in a bad non-rebuildable way.

Give it time. One will, then they'll all change their tune.

WHEN, not IF they run lean under high boost or hit their fuel cutoff in the PCM, there will be a boom.

Imagine losing a fuel pump or simply a fuse.......

this is the link that should work.

so in essence it'* a safty valve rather then a reguleter of psi

The boost bypass valve bypass boost when you don't need it. Like when the TPS reads low. As in your foot isn't on the loud pedal. When you're cruising, you're using boost, but when you let off for a granny in front of you it dumps boost. This saves FUEL.

It'* also a safety.

The valve itself doesn't REGULATE your boost PSI. It'* like an on-off switch really. When you roll onto the throttle firmly, your boost goes up because the engine rpms (and SC rpm'*) are increasing.

ahhhh that makes sense now
so our super chargers or only capable of so much boost, and the bypas valves alows the computer the ability to control its use not it'* volume ergo increasing fuel economy and alowing a margin of error for part failure since our cars don't have map signal. so in therory it should be ok to do on a stock car and if you don't mind living on the edge lol

You got it. Our stock PCM'* have a fuel cutoff at a particular RPM. The boost must be able to dump before that point.

If you bypass the actuator, you MUST delete the fuel cutoff in the PCM, and you WILL get worse fuel mileage.

Keep in mind the Fiero won't be as bad because they're so light.
