well you should go over and kick him square in the nuts.... That is very unsafe to do. It might be possible but I wouldn't try it.

right now i am running about 5-6 psi with no fuel system b/c my inline fuel pump broke. You can run OBD II cars with no fuel at low boost, but i highly advise against it. The easiest fuel system to do is a fmu......but u can get a more efficent fuel system by converting to a return fuel set-up.

Running 5-6psi is like running a 50 shot of nitrous (with the exception of the lag and torque factor). A VAFC might help in that case, for a temporary solution until you get a decent fuel management system when you bump the boost.

May be so but... the nitrous acts as air AND fuel, not just boost. This is why people can safely drop in 50 shots and go to the track.

Do not run 5-6psi without a fuel system. When my pump was bad (still working but not adding enough) I ran lean at only 3psi. Just get a VAFC2, emanage, or fmu and pump.

That would be assuming the person is utilizing a wet kit. There have been a considerable amount of people who have used dry, including myself.

Anyway, fuel management would be helpful. You can prolly get away with an AFC to start with.

yeah obd II cars are able to supply a efficent amount of fuel for a dry shot.......i wouldn't try it on a 50 shot, but definitely on a 35.
