    Yes... it is super simple on the system section.

    I'm curious why you'd want to though? It's easier to live with a big TB with DBW as oppsoed to DBC and you can adjust throttle response with a click of a mouse. I'm actually wanting to do the opposite.

    The problem with DBW and with high boost you will never solve the REP problem and will keep haveing a problems with p1516 code

    REP = reduced engine power

    this happens when the tune causes the ETC/MAP sanity tables to be exceeded, usually throws a DTC (e.g. P1516).
