Magnuson Boost Bypass?

3: Magnacharger warns in their installation manual that the bypass valve is a precision calibrated device, and is not to be messed with. I would be afraid that this add-on might upset the calibration and make the truck run like junque.
and last but not least....
4: It would void the warranty.
However, as always, it is your truck, so feel free to try it if you wish.

i think its a great idea, a little pricey. Ever since i had the blower installed, my truck has NEVER been valet parked. I dont trust valet parkers/drivers, i have seen how some of them drive
