I thought so. Now, how could one make the ECU "think" the a/c compressor is on and get the extra 'legal' boost without actually having it turned on.. Just curious.....

the ecu uses te torque request from the throttle to calculate a load requirement. it then compares actual load against requested load and adjusts accordingly...

very interesting....now to just fool the ECU into thinking I actually weight 800 pounds and the trunk is full rocks....Emmmmm...
LOL...
also found a way to tricky wifes Subaru into thinking the parking break is on so we can watch DVD movies up front while driving LOL...

on the subaru it just a matter of putting a switch across the contacts on the parking brake switch to fool it...or hold the pedal down a little while driving..LOL..
