The K04 is a pretty tough turbo but 30 psi is way out of its efficiency range. It will make 400 wrtq or so but at the expense of a broad powerband. basically the turbo can flow only so much air turning up the boost above 23 psi will make a lot of torque but not much hp.
yea .. he dynoed 290 with that tune.. with major power reduction prior to 4500 because of his stock clutch
that same day he dynoed his current tune he sels and the stock tune... current tune was 260-270 whp stock was 220 lol and the hhr stage kit was like240 or something if i remember

Definitely going to be beneficial for big turbo folks, but I'd be very careful running that much boost pressure on our K04, it's way out of its threshold.
I made the mistake of doing something similar on my Evo. I was running a 2.3 stroker on E85 with a stock IX 16g @ 30psi....Within 6 months I had shaft play. Apples to oranges comparison yes, but in the end they're both fruit...

yea haha vince has made it very clear to me running 30 isn't good on stock turbo.. he's doing it for testing.. this is also the reason he's doing dual map tunes using competition mode.. because if you want said madman tune every once in a while it SHOULDn't kill it right away.. then again compressor surge/ stall only takes once but you get the point..
For instance, one mode for dd/fuel savings and another for competition.
