are you experiencing any knock at high boost levels??? Thats why i dont tune at such high boost...yeah i'll have the power, but the knock is not worth it.

Hopefully you arent exp. knock or anything and that your meth is full time or do you switch maps and such??....(sorry if i screwed up, i dont remember if your using meth or whatever other additive)

i personally would never use high boost on a daily basis in an effort to keep my turbos life up. I just use lower boost setting (18 psi) for daily use and when i decide to run....high boost (23 psi)

No knock that I am aware of. The guys at TT know Im not an expert and that I cant tune an AEM so, I asked them to tune me for power, safety and efficiency...

Yes, they wired the AEM in some special way so that in case my pump fails it'll switch to a safer map. I dont know how to explain it, so dont ask me for details.
But what I asked them was can my AEM protect my motor from blowing in case the alky pump fails etc. and they told me they could do it.

good to see youre covering the details.

i guess my overall comment is for me 330 hp is better than 0 hp. so im just trying to keep my car from breaking by not asking too much out of it without doing a thorough upgrade sequence.
