3 MOD + 10PSI IS it ok without ECU?

10 hours of back breaking nee bending I finally got
my boost back.

I changed whole vacuum line and I fixed the vaccum chamber and changed one check valve.
now my car flies.
also I put homedepot valve because one pill was missing

Now I wnat do some more mods.
first I want to do stock airbox mod.
I already have Catback and downpipe so It gona be my
3rd mod.

Ok I think I can control the boost with homedepot valve
If I keep stock boost pattern(10-8-10) will I be Ok?

I wanna buy ECU but I can't because I have to buy tires.

thanks.

I would hold back if I were you on that one, if you can't afford an ECU can you afford a new motor? Is it worth the extra 10HP at most you would get from the K&N drop-in filter? Go ahead and buy those new tires and have some fun with what you have, getting new tires is one of my favorite mods!

Why risk it for the few HP you'll gain from the airbox mod? Just wait until you can afford an ECU.

to answer your question you can safely run 10 psi on thoes mods. but there is always that risk of running too lean if for some reason your boost contoller fails.
