I already found out the hard way last Sunday, After doing around 200 KM @ Mission raceway had to replace my new brake pads that I just installed. My boost is is around 6.5 PSI,I have a Auto meter gauge that has no peak memory so I cant be sure.

I will definitely check into it Thanks
22022 do me a favour, zip tie you vacumn lines, one to the bpv and the one on the back on the fuel rail... your down on boost alittle..... our pulley should make 7psi @ 7200rpm (straight from AJ) i enquired about this as my car was making 8psi @ 7800ish as i was worried i was going to grenade my motor, Aj confirmed this was ok......(edit ; not normal to see 8psi but CAN happen, the tune allows for alittle extra boost)

triple check your clamps as they often work loose during the first few cycles.......

re-check, and im pretty certain your going to see more boost......1.5 psi is ALOT of horsepower left on the table ;-)

Yup I had zip tied the vacuum lines already,and gone over the clamps that come with the kit and replaced 2 of them already ,need to get better clamps. I have to get the car on the dyno ASAP

And I'm looking for a better boost gauge that will fit my 2-5/8 pod.
