Or just fit a proper management system and tune it properly and safely.

post for info only...
The ECU monitors the signal from the MAF and at about 225 hp (my 740T) turns off the injectors. I do not know (yet) if it just stops grounding the injectors, or if it turns off the Fuel Injection Relay, thus killing the Radio Interference Suppression Relay, BUT I Will FIND OUT!
Note, when this happens while passing a fast Mustang, it's embarrassing.

I think it just stops firing the injectors when it hits a certain air flow / load.

To remove it you need to change the fuel chip, plenty available on ebay or made to custom injectors or use the bigger maf with matching injectors etc

I have an over boost switch. It goes from 10psi to 15psi and the fun starts. ;-)

I'll get my coat!
