    I'm about to head up to TS in a bit for a protune on the fozzy. If anyones in the area, feel free to stop by!

    so pretty disappointing day with scott.
    1st pull was promising with 21X/235 picking up almost 20 in hp/torque. unfortunately that would be about the best of the day

    every subsequent pull afterwards, went downwards. boost wouldn't peak past around 16.5 and taper down to 7 and/or 8.

    scott pulled off the wastegate vacuum to see what would happen...16 lbs peak 7/8 taper. that should have resulted in infinite boost but nothing different happened. so that made scott wonder about the wastegate itself. scott adjusted the wastegate arm a full 3 turns...talk about a soft spring! it helped alittle but not much.

    Bad in which way? Unfortunate or crappy luck

    Bad news that the car is not making the power. I am sure a new actuator will fix it.
