this is funny because yesterday morn i was going to work and it was about 45 deg. so i decided to go wot and wow!!! 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 bar!!! o s h i t !! i was holding 1.8 bar to redline. so when i got to work i turned the hallman down a little bit. the colder denser air and my new deluxe FMIC is amazing. it was pulling like a freight train. it was tuned at this set up as well but it was 90+ when it was tuned. i am scared the 93 octane isnt enough so i turned it down. now i have the 20g-9-5 and a buschur stage 4 , and the turbo has the high boost actuator. so we will see what im boosting later today or tomorrow.

edit: forgot to mention my apex-i boost gage is off 1 tick mark so its more like 1.7 bar it was holding.

Yeah I headed to the ocean last night at midnight with the gf and did a 3rd gear pull and the car spiked 26psi and was holding 24. Suprisingly it felt fast as hell up top, but I turned it back down to 23 for time being :-)

If you've got a flash it elimnates the boost cut. I dont have a flash... Yet... If you ever hit it you'll know... Makes you think you broke something. It might have also been raised on the IX's.
