No, the venturi delete does not delete the ISV. There is a metal pipe underneath the intake manifold. That is the venturi tube, which is what gets deleted. It also deletes the cycling valve (factory boost controller). You will need an aftermarket electric or manual boost controller if you do this.

People with whom I tracked in 944T's and I used to compare how much flame we could shoot at the track.

The gasoline in the pipes has momentum and, even though the electronic signal changes instantaneously, some gasoline continues flowing because the energy in the flowing gas forces the control open.......flame......

To the OP, keep in mind though that turbo cars naturally pop and sputter with small amounts of unburnt fuel going out the exhaust. The high heat from the turbo can heat up that fuel to the point of ignition as it exits the back and makes for nice fireworks for the car behind you. So my guess is you're running slightly rich on off-throttle applications. The flames are probably because you're running with no cat.

I'll second this. My car's controls are all stock. When I removed my cat I started getting pops and flames. Pretty cool now that the wastegate isn't tied in any longer and flames occasionally shoot under the car on upshifts.

Mine pops and rumbles very nicely with 3" exhaust and no cat. And yes, I've lit the walls up on exit/on ramps with the flames!

Flames / backfires are common on cars with no cats when powering through the gears. Either with the factory barndoor or with MAF.

I have a straight through exhaust, I have backfiring/flames on fast upshifts, and backfiring on downshifts.

However, check the TPS for proper adjustment. When its adjusted improperly, it will backfire several times when you downshift ( and not engine brake very well ), indicating the DME is still seeing a part throttle signal with the throttle released.

If all that is in order, some backfiring is normal.

thats exactly what mine does. if it was the tps would it happen all the time or could it be just sometimes like with my car.
