Default Smoke Switch For The Idiots

Alright I can't take it anymore with these idiots around here i live. I want one and will promise to only use it for the ones that really deserve it.

Is there a way to SAFELY make up a smoke switch on the D'Max?

I don't want to set codes if I use it and I don't want to hurt anything either.

I have been thinking about this alot lately actually. And the only way I can think of that would be a "smoke switch" is to put a cable operated valve, or electronic valve on the IC tube, where its tapped for the boost gauge. Then, at will, you could flip the switch to open the valve, or pull the cable to open it, and you would lose boost, therefore creating LOTS OF SMOKE..


Just a thought.

I like killing the boost for the shear smoke of it all, but you loose power when doing this too. You can also set some under boost codes IIRC. It would need to be metered and fine tuned for the best results.


A dsp 2 or 5 switch gets the job done for sure. Thats what I use.

Tuners can set up a "smoke" tune and still have just the right amount of power.

BTW, we need a smoke smilie! I'll see if I can find one.
