Default Put a toggle on ECU fuse???????

I have a 99 Si with a custom turbo kit, im using a 255 pump 450 injectors and a VAFC running 9 lbs of boost, now im getting a map code every once in a while and i have to reset the ECU from under the hood. i wanted to know if i could just put a toggle switch on the ECU fuse under the hood so i could just reset it from inside the car...could this be bad for the ECU??? any info will help....thank you...Chris L.

You didnt offend me, but if your car is throwing a MAP code every now and then, it is not running correctly. This whole toggle on the ECU thing seems like a really bad idea, but whatever works for you.

Hmmm...I still would'nt do it to my car. Just food for though, there are twin turbo civics and other assorted things that have been done, but I would'nt recoomend. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide on.
