My AVO went in at 2000 miles and I've got 4000 more since then. So far, aside from an issue caused by the common failure of the OEM high pressure fuel pump, it's been solid. When you consider the engine output is nearly double factory spec it's remarkable. Time will tell!
A 9psi ceiling seems pretty low but not surprising. Your numbers are very solid for that boost level though, is this on 93?

I can't imagine the headache tuning these cars must be.

Thanks for posting, I checked out ATS and it looks like they specialize in MR2's, are boxers something they deal with a lot?
