if you unplug it the actuator will open at a lower boost pressure.
The reason you unplug it when you install a boost controller is because if you dont, you will have 2 boost controllers, one you can control yourself and one you cant.the one you cant control
(TVSV) interfers with the one you can
(mbc) rendering yours uncontrollable too.

dantheman wrote:The TVSV works like this(for rev2):
Actuator opens at 7 PSI.TVSV will kick in for 3rd gear bleeding off 3PSI so that actuator opens at 10PSI.
You could set up a boost controller with TVSV enabled but you will never have control of 3PSI, you would need to set your controller up for max boost in 3rd which means you will have 3PSI less than you want in 1st and 2nd gear.
