You pray

I wouldn't even recommend boosting, but if you must, then make sure you don't boost past 10psi (You better decide a way to control it), hook up a voltimeter to the O2 sensor, and make sure you are above .85v. If you are below .85v, then you better not boost at all.

I don't think that you can get away with much. I would definately save up and purchase a nice ecu. Without it...Pop!! Not something that you want.

fuel cut defencer dont do ****, it actually lies by saying your boost is lower than it really is to avoid cut off, not good...

what kind of fuel computer?

remember, ecu is cheaper than a motor!

don't run your car like that...

you will eventually blow the engine. And my bet is sooner rather than later.

Try to see if you can get a used pettit reprogrammed ecu somewhere. Or you can get a high-flow fuel pump, rising-rate fuel pressure regulator, and hope for the best.

without the main cat, you will not be able to control boost effectively, unless you have a ported wastegate. And even if you were able to keep it at stock boost levels, the better volumetric efficiency from your intake/IC/exhaust mods would require more fuel.
