The other day i was screwin around with my intake pipe, and forgot to plug in the mas before i hopped in and started driving. The car turned over just as it normally would however it had no power off the line, once i got around the corner I was a little curious as to why the car was acting this way, i stepped on the throttle to see if it would go and once the car hit 2 grand it took off like a shot. My car has never felt faster on boost or slower off of it, I quickly realized what was wrong and pulled over to plug the mas back in, but do you guys think I might have damaged any thing in those few minutes the mas wasn't plugged in?
 
odd. you should have gotten a CEL. The engine shouldn't have even started without your mas plugged in.
a local guy here bought and installed a VPC and he said that without the mas plugged in your car will run too much fuel.
 
I once ran without a MAS for like 10 miles, car ran fine but just felt different. Maybe this is different since I'm n/a but the car started fine.
 
but do you guys think I might have damaged any thing in those few minutes the mas wasn't plugged in?


Nope. :laser:
