i think youre on to something my dear Watson!

Accessport's valet mode wont let it go over 40 mph. or you could unbolt your cat-back so its too embarrassing to drive lol.

If you disconnect the solenoid as you mentioned the max boost you will get will be 10PSI. Now will that slow you down? Dunno. But it will take longer to get fast

It stinks so bad he's protecting his olfactory system from the stench.

Get a Cobb AP and use valet mode or the fuel economy map

ask if theyve ever seen the movie "Speed". if yes, then tell them its exactly like that only opposite. if they go above 55, they will explode

This was asked in regard to gas mileage once or twice. I think at ten lbs the car will still move right along and this may not help so much. But great ideas are aplenty here on the forum

dont let them drive it. i think my comment wins

You don't need to disconnect the solenoid. All you need to do, is disconnect the top hose off the wastegate actuator and cap it off, then cap off the hose you just disconnected on the actuator...

That should limit you to whatever the wastegate is set to....~10PSI...?

i wouldn't let guests drive my ms3. period. also, FWIW, driving an ms3 seems easy to me, but some of my friends seem to think the torque steer etc is scary...

i had an mbc piped in parallel to my old car's ECU boost control, i just popped the bearing/spring out of the MBC and boost was limited to 5psi. anyone who worked on my car must've thought it was a slow POS for having a bunch of work done to it

but for the ms3, yea i have no idea. use the ideas mentioned above ^^^ or tell your guests to find a car... i swear there's some sort of service that lets people borrow cars - it might be called renting?

You could always shove a potato in the tail pipe and stick a straw thru it to give massive back pressure. Result really slow car.

 

[eg6motion]

you could loosen the bolts on your BPV/BOV, would leak boost like a bastard and run like a turd.

...or park it around the corner and tell them its in the shop.

Funny stuff. Just go rent a neon for a few days. Then sale the MS3 and get a Corolla.

Don't let them drive it. They can get a rental.
