FYI, 195psi is plenty for 1500rwhp
​​​​​​THis was in the back of my head because I drive the car on the street and it gets into boost pretty easy so thought maybe I was getting the frictions that way. Trying to decide if I plug the epc or just set 100dc across the board in my tune.

i see this commonly when dealing to tuners

max boost oil pressure from the EPC/boost valve circuit = zero duty cycle
min oil is if you crank the duty cycle to that max number (96 in HP tuners, 100 in Holley)

Yes so setting to 0 in Holley trans file should give "full" pressure.
Mine was using TPS rather than MAP as well which probably doesn't make sense for a turbo car as mentioned. Instead I am just going to install one of Jakes EPC plugs and call that done and see where it gets me.
I went back to some old driving logs and even at 20%DC I was getting 160psi so not sure that is my problem, but since anything under power on the street was probably in 2nd gear better safe than sorry.
