car will drive OK, but will be spikey and unsafe if you leave the N75 plugged in.

Unplug the N75 and you can drive it as hard as you like before it's mapped, it'll never trouble it.

thanks for all the info. just need to save £390 for the remap now :sad:

Depending on your actuator setup, N75 unplugged will give you around 6psi of boost and 150bhp, very much like stock.

I used to unplug the N75 on my daily during the week and drive around with 150bhp saving money, then plug it back in on a Friday night and enjoy another 80bhp for the weekend!

is there a possible chance that unplugging it will throw it into limp mode?

i guess that would make your car seem faster than what it is :grin:

No, it won't go into limp mode when you unplug the N75, but it will throw an ''n75 circuit open'' fault code, which doesn't cause any harm.

I run a switch on my N75 so I can switch between low (274bhp) and high (300bhp) boost whilst driving around. Works brilliantly.
