you can cut it (not a good idea if you never done it and dont make it rite) also my buddy bought a fuel plate off ebay for 20.00$ works better then mine did

You don't need to "cut" anything. You can grind your own fuel plate profile but like Blazier18 said it's not a good idea if you've never done it before. The first thing you need before you do anything is get a good set of gauges. Pyro, boost, and trans temp (if you have an auto) are all you need.

Filling out your sig will help us give your better answers.

Agreed. No fuel plate = eye's glued to the pyro. I removed mine but running twins it cools off quickly. If running a single turbo I wouldn't do it. Way too hot. I can hit 1250-1300 on WOT then cools off right away. Water meth is my next addition. Do alot of towing loaded at 10K. Mountain passes I can hit 1200 rolling at 75mph. Water/meth would cool it to around 1000.
