If you're curious, just drive around town for a bit with it off. Pretty sure you'll be filled with fear, not elated that you're limping around town.

I'd rather feel secure that it's not prone to breaking to begin with, something you don't find out with new to market kits until after a period of ownership and reviews from other consumers comes out. At this point it's happened often enough that I'd like to look into whether it's a general trend or a design flaw. If it happens less than other kits, then that speaks to excellent design, while if it happens more often, it says the opposite.

To be honest the car is not limping, it's just like back to being NA with an E85 tune.
