What does the WORKS re-engineered boost hose do (Brain Flash P2) and why do I need it?

The WORKS boost hose allows the Brain Flash software to maintain and properly control the desired boost level. Due to physical limitations of the original hose assembly, it is not possible to maintain the factory-set boost level throughout the entire RPM range (even when maxing out the software parameters). In order to maintain the OEM boost level (~20 PSI), our Engineers have designed a hose that looks identical to and uses the same design concept as the original, but functions differently. (For this reason, do not use the WORKS boost hose assembly on a vehicle without the proper Brain Flash software loaded onto the ECU.) WORKS recognized the limitations of the OEM hose in 2003. While other tuners took the easy route and recommended external controllers or in-line bleeder valves, WORKS took the proper steps to design a calibrated boost hose assembly (not just a restrictor pill) and bring a fully functional and integrated boost controlling flash to market.
