Jimmy, are you back in Ft. Hood now? You came up to Arlington to get it worked on right? If so, why the hell didn't you address the issues then? I had a couple problems with my setup when I drove it to Arlington to get it tuned. Billy charged me just a smidge to fix a variety of things and they practically spent half the day fixing it and making sure it was running right. Now, I have the fastest car in the world and it's all thanks to STS!

BTW Jimmy, at WOT, is the wastegate opening completely...you know, indicated by the extreme sudden change in the pitch of the turbo/exhaust?

If it's opening all the way, most likely you're hitting the max PSI the W/G is set for... What bar spring is that?...like a .4? The stock spring in the W/G is good for 5psi max...they say 5.5 but they're F.O.S.! Check your boost gauge as well...could be off and that would be an easy fix...

Well guys I have already worked out a couple bugs today, got the boost now, not having all the problems. It still needs a little more tuning to get it 100%.
