“Bye-Bye headgasket on a boosted car.” Hence my question.

I think my non-boosted cars 2 step is set at about 2500, or something close to as low as it can go. With a centrifugal boost would be at 1 psi.

Is that going to blow a head gasket? I know I’m not the only person here who hasn’t heard of that, and would like to know if their Ecutek/Uprev tuned and boosted car is gonna let go because they used the 2-step their tuner gave them.

I doubt it would be in your case. But if you push it too far or to long you could have an issue. In my case, I am not doing it. Why do something that is questionable. These motors are not cheap to build. As far as folks having it with a stock NA motor. RICER!!!!!!!! Do whatever you want. We have enough Cupcakez's and Shadows around here. We don't need anymore.

It’s when it goes out, will it go out if you use one or ten times yes and no. Point is, it’s not a smart way of doing things. Your money do you want. 2 stepping NA is pointless, no data to support it helps, just learn how to launch the car. Contact real street they will have solution to get you to launch your car properly. You want to learn more start your own thread about it you will get a plethora of answers
