vegas, im not sure what boost you are running but lately it seems people aren't doing headstuds unless running well over 30lbs. Just FYI if you want to avoid the install. Any luck with the vibration/shifting issues? Oh and i unpluged the EGR solenoid this weekend when doing some stuff on the car. No CEL

Headstuds are a great precaution on any boosted car. Its cheap insurance. But to answer your question, when spring comes around, yes I will be maxing out the turbo at 33-35psi
We might have narrowed down the vibration. I will know tonight or tomorrow.
Thats great news on the EGR. I will be unplugging soon.
