Did you ever considered the vac mls 0.7 if boost goes 11psi or above at 8000rpm?

If i ever decide to go with a custom tune, i would jump right away to max 12psi with vac mls 0.7 and arp head studs.
Why is cac mls .7?

By the way the car started up on the third crank. First crank nothing. Second crank is sputtered. Third crank of the key, it fired right up into a steady idle

My next step is finding out about a mechanical belt tensioner. Its gotta be an old bmw piece. Even though the new pulley is coated for anti-slip, i dont feel like the hydraulic tensioner is putting enough tension on the pulley at high rpm. There is a 5% chance that i have a small leak in my boost gauge
