Hey, how exactly do you bypass the CV, or where do you drill the holes if that's the better approach?

Will bypassing the CV disable the factory overboost protection?

I believe the overboost protection is implemented in the KLR as a fuel cutoff, which does not involve the CV at all. However, aftermarket chips may disable the overboost protection, which is a separate issue. Perhaps somebody (Danno?) can confirm this...

Bypassing the CV will take away the car's ability to reduce boost when the KLR detects detonation, but it won't disable the overboost protection. You need aftermarket chips to do that.

But the KLR would still retard timing if it detected knock, right?
