afc and trans questions

Lucentinjection · 07-04-2008, 07:42 PM

Some noob questions.....

Is gutting the AFC a good idea if I will be doing a lot of towing? Since I will be in the pedal a whole lot (up hills and such), will I just be dumping a ton of unnecessary fuel?

Also, while checkin my fluids today, I noticed the trans oil was really foamy, and it was really hard to read the level...I've seen that if water gets in the trans oil it can get foamy...but im pretty sure theres no water in there....what could cause that??

Any help would be appreciated

i used to have mine gutted cool for smoke but thats it...just put a 0 plate and it will be fine.. just watch your guages....i mean you can gut it just block the wastegate but u have to watch your foot plus fuel is not cheap anymore
