its tuned for 9, but can creep up to 11/12... just doesnt use it efficiently. I had a boot that was expanding causing the symptoms of a boost leak, so we pulled the restricter last time we were tuning it and it kept running at 9 psi, so thats what we tuned it for. Finally blew the boot and put the new one on, barely getting on it it went to 18 (oops). Had to put the restricter back on. Going back to get tuned for 14psi here shortly.


Both of your cars have some great numbers! Id love to see if mine can keep up. Prob be a good run w/o spray.
