What you're doing is adjusting the coolant thermo sensor so that the ECU thinks the coolant/engine is a bit cooler than it is - cooler coolant/engines temps wouldd trigger a richer mixture.
The problem is that the hack just included a pot that's in series with the stock OEM coolant thermo sensor.  This means you'll need to mess with the **** constantly to adjust mixtures - WOT versus idle.  This can easily be fixed by using a pressure switch that would change the mixture only when above x amount of boost.
