60' and what rpm are you shifting at??

It just says you have a TBE, is that with or without a cat?

And do yourself a favor, replace the stock DV.. mine wasn't holding boost even on pump gas

I assume you have a boost controller since you mentioned 21 psi, correct?

I trapped something like 105 on my 05 with just an MBC... most of the cars I've seen doing less than that are pulling timing b/c of a bad or no tune.

Have a reputable shop look at, troubleshoot, and tune your car. That comment is not a jab at your Xede or your tune, though. I'm just saying to have a local shop really take a good look at everything, and then have them give you a custom flash in person on the dyno or on the road.

xede works as my boost controller. I have a boost gauge that is how i noticed i was hitting 21psi. I have a high flow cat and im shifting at about 7100rpms. Like i said i will be doing a boost leak check this weekend. and i will be getting tuned by kevind on the 28th. Now im worried something is messed up.

If you get flashed by Kevin, then be sure to get an MBC before that tune. You won't need to use the Xede anymore with the flash.

you use the stock solenoid with the xede to control boost.
why dont you get xmap and raise your revlimiter in the xede yourself its very easy.
but if your going with an ecuflash tune then you will need a mbc and will need to remove your xede good luck

What is Exede? Is that Xede or Exedy? I don't think it's a Xede, becase you're not tuned, and I don't think it's Exedy, because you have an ACT 6-puck. So, what is an "Exede"?

Your power is equivalent to a stock 05 btw.
I think you just might have a mood disorder. You say such nice things in your posts.

I will prob keep the xede for now. There is no getting my money back on the xede. If that dont work out i guess i will just flash the ecu later on. This is depressing! jrsimon27 i will try to raise my rev limiter. What should i raise it to? Thanks for all the help guys!
