if you set it up for too much you are likely to get fuel cut and/or det problems.
get a dawes if you must tweak the boost..
Far simpler, and probably a better idea if you want more boost on the cheap with no other real supporting mods... (fuelling etc..)
It's not 'the law' to adjust to the fuelling to compensate- but I'd say its sheer common sense. Some say '**** it' and just bung a dawes on and crank it up- and they are lucky no probs.. others have found out the hard way. its a gamble.
just dont come crying to us when you set the dawes too high and you melt a piston etc..
