Whooo boy...interesting new info from Chris!

1) Did a boost check before even bothering to change the pulley. The car was making /3PSI/!
2) After changing the pulley, the car made 5PSI.
3) Two boost leaks were identified, including one at the BPV. After fixing them, 6.5PSI.
4) Roman looked over the car as well and knows it should push 7PSI+, and so wants that problem sorted, but we're going to delve into that another day. Perhaps once I'm home to NorCal and not in the middle of my vacation when I want the car available.

Here I thought I was probably running 5PSI, and avoiding higher RPMs anyway...makes sense that the tune behaved as badly as it did. It originally concerned me that despite the S/C boost being off, the tune wouldn't adjust enough to handle it, but now I understand.

I'm almost afraid to feel the power now...
