I think I may be finished melting pistons.
Replaced the 14# waste gate spring with a 6#.
Adjusted meth pump to come on at 3# of boost instead of 10#.
Crept up on boost with controller and now making 11# of boost.
Best so far is 10.55 et.
Entered dragweek and made the entire week with no problems.
Averaged 10.88 et.
