Typically, the meth is tuned to come on during boost so you can drive it just dont get into the throttle to heavy.

Damn meth pumps pretty much start to leak around 12-15 months. Will need a backup sitting at your house.
Mine is ready to replace now. You can get yours rebuilt by the maker and keep it as your spare.

Yeah for sure , i have 3 here , ones dead from the previous year , a new one for spare and the one on the car now . This is the advantage of having a great tuner , i text him earlier as i was p##@$d off about the pump again . He asked me a few questions about what was happening and what was not . I told him i drained to tank 2 weeks agon as we pretty much figured driving season was over , this week , we are up in the 15 to 20 degree range so cars out again . He figured i had an "air lock " , told me to put some kind of vacuum put on the business end of the meth line and hit the test button at the same time as the vac pump , well low and behold , it worked . Gotta love this Guy , he answers all my stupid questions any time i text or call him , keeps me calm as well lol
