yeah, i dont wanna run e85, i'd feel better shooting water methanol in addition to 93 vs running e85. it's just not very accessible where i am. So i wanna see someone push it on pump gas as far as it can go.

intercooler aside, i really wanna see the turbo maxed out.

Ok, I see now what you mean. @King Tut is pushing 14 psi, so at least know you can get there with pump and injectors.

i wouldn't mind 14 at all, and im working with J-V to get the pump/injectors now. I'm sure once im there ill probably not mind having 18 or 20. lol.

But the way this car picks up when the AVO comes on line, never stops bringing a smile to my face.

Sorry for the bumpy camera work, it was a slightly bumpy road and of course, spirited shifting.

That is about what I expected. Our 3rd gear boost curves are not all that different. Looks like you hit 10 psi about 300 RPM before I do. We both lose about the same amount of boost at redline as well.

I hope the stiffer actuator improves something... If not, I will be taking a look at Visconti's ECU controlled boost solution whenever more details are released.

Yep. You can see how my plot holds max boost for at least 2000 RPM while yours starts dropping as soon as it peaks.
