ok so i did it. pain in the ass to reach on this si by the way. so i unplugged the hose while it was running and what happened? instant boost at idle.... so definatly not good for fuel economy. now, its suppose to hold boost at higher rpms, i cant exactly tell because the damn car is so fast already. BUT, from low rpms, 1st gear was a little crazy, shift to second i had to let off because the wheels went crazy. so mid range, is picking up GREAT! but as for top holding boost still not sure, i need a guage. i'll try it at the track when i have my good tires if its not freakin rained out. any other info guys???
