Quick Question

I just installed my Downpipe and Midpipe, I have stock ECU but i have a GReddy Profec B Spec II... I havnt had a boost spike or anything, its constant 10-8-10, Will it sitll require a ECU to just drive it around? I willl be getting a ECU anyways but i dont have the money right now and im running no cat.

If the boost never goes above 10psi, you can hammer it without fear.

The smell is pollution, part of which is unburned gasoline fumes. Didn't you know that removing the cat would have that effect? Some of that will be reduced when you put in an ECU and get it tuned well.

Except, it only takes one creep for it to pop, so I wouldn't smash it too hard.
