Even though our cars have good balance, when they snap with that much power available they're very hard to bring back and there are a lot more things to hit on the street.
Low boost is set at 1.0 right now and high at 1.5

The dyno pulls show over 400 at the wheels.. gotta be 475? 500? at the crank. I don't think 1.5 will make those numbers..

The head is ported, bigger turbo, injectors, fuel delivery upgrades, chipped etc..
It's not like someone just added a manual boost controller and cranked it up..

That said, the car was built 40K miles ago.. It's been well maintained but I have no need or desire to run it with super high boost.
