    But probably not good on Cobb 2.5 map and stock intercooler. :eek3:

    Going to try drilling out the VF34 restrictor pill a hair now, maybe I'll hit target with some luck... :rofl:

    I've been hitting pretty close to 19psi with AP Stage 2 for almost a year now(.13 MPa) and havent had any issues... I bet you its a lot more fun with your giant turbo though!!!!

    Heh, I'm not going to risk it.. aiming for 17 or so. Going to Harbor Freight to see if they have any tiny (1.1mm or so) drill bits.

    By the way, what'd you do to get 19psi on stage 2?

    19psi sure is fun, I guess this is a common boost pressure to run on the stock motors. My VF29 really woke up when we retuned it from 17psi (unichip and automatic) to 19psi(ecutek and 5speed).

    Yeah, once I get a better top mount and a protune I think I'll be in heaven. 2nd gear slammed me into the seat hard on this much boost. :)

    I disagree Milo, you can have big fun in 4th on the highway! just last night, I was messng around with a balls fast twin turbo 300zx... I'd dare say he was a little faster, but it was damn fun...

    4th is too long to be any fun for me... i enjoy acceleration, not velocity... after feeling the punch is 1,2 and 3, 4th is too boring for me
