Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone is running a turbo fuse from GFB:

waste of money i think!! Buy a good ebc or ecu and use the boost cut or soft limiter function..
 
If your really worried about the vac line coming off your turbo to your ebc splash out £ and go all speedflow braide fittings to eliminate the rubber vac line and cable tie issue..

Thought it was a good idea, but will probably just block out fueling on the map for anything above 1.4 bar so it runs rich and bogs down but not cause damage :)

Most of the vac rack on the FC is going lol not many vac lines left!

looks like snake oil to me...
 
as 12at said, if you have a weak point it\'s much better to fix it rather than apply a string of patches and failsafes.
