I got the buscher piping, just sold this RSR 3" because it was a straight 3" pipe and not inspection friendly by any means. Now im looking to change this high flow cat to the 2nd muffler deal like everyone does and got quoted $240 for that muffler. does that sound right? seems high to me.

Stock o2 and Stock ex manifold. I am going to have bob from map port the hell out of them. If you think the stock o2 is not free flowing enough even after port work let me know.

I was leaning towards going with AMS piping, the small battery kit, and maybe even the stock 9 bov since its like the 1g dsm's if im not mistaken? so it could be crushed to hold big boost?

Is forge like a ricer style bov? like the greddy type-s? Id get a tial, but I dont want to lose the stock MAF.

Question for the red guys. Is anyone on stock block with internal wastegate holding 30 psi till they shift? (on meth of course)

I spike 30.3 and at drops to 25.6 psi, this is on stock bov(yes Im aware they're only good up to about 26 or 27 psi) I even bought a forge RS bov and was the same situation. Anyone have this problem with their reds, cause I thought they were suppose to hold boost till you shift basically.

I was holding 28.5 psi at 7.5k with the Perrin intake. Now that I switched to the Apexi intake it tapers to about 26.5-27psi 7.5k
(Im running the Forge Rs bov and wastegate)

You might have a boost leak if your only holding 25psi at 7k. Also might want to add more preload to the wastegate.
