Default Can you adjust the vafc while driving or idling with engine on?

Quick question was wondering can you adjust the vafc while stopping at a redlight?? Like letting it idle or something????? Or the engine gotta be off to set it and therefore to make it work properly??? Any help is appreciated.

I have one in my Accord and I haven't done. I am kinda scared to so I only do it when the car is off. Sorry guess this post doesn't really answer your question.

um no, i mean VAFC, when he ups the boost he runs it a little rich, hence he uses he vafc to dump more fuel, or he would detonate.

he turns up the boost with his boost controller then he compensates by giving it more fuel.

yeah ya dont have to turn it off...it can be adjusted while running, driving or idling. in fact, id reco doing that over doing it with the car off, cuz for some reason or another ive seen it reset the last adjustments made on mine sometimes if the car is off while its being manipulated...
