So my tune is wrong?! Lol it seems to hold at like 26lbs in 3rd no matter what, but I also don't let it hold for long cuz I'm scared something will get F'd up, so how can we fix it?

Its not gonna get F'd up with the timing you are running, and no its not wrong. The levels of boost whange with changes in altitude. 26lbs in 3rd is fine as a spike, but if you keep your foot in it, you will notice the boost drop. The K04 doesn't flow efficiently enough to HOLD 26+ Psi through the powerband. Especially since you are all stock other than tune. ANd like I said, its a one table adjustment that caps the boost.

Your tune is fine. You car is near stock.

I dunno man, all I know everytime a peep at the boost gauge when I'm doing a pull over 3500 Rpms it's over the 25lb mark, then I stop

Also when I did that stupid pull on the way home in 5th at 60, the boost held at 28lbs and didn't drop. And the same in 4th

So I guess if I knew I could never WOT it in anygear except at certain mph or Rpms I prolly wouldn't have got it

That is going to happen when you punch it and you are low load. You are freaking out for no reason. If you are not knocking youll be fine for now.

Well like I said I'm a noob to the tuning/boost game, all I want is to keep the car in safe boost so I don't blow anything up, that's all....

And all I can do is listen to you guys and hope its fine lol

Just dyno it once before I drop the boost If you want to drop the boost without being retuned you can adjust the wastegate actuator rod.

bs from the weekend.

"Lost control" of my car for the first time ever Friday night. I cruised up to Payson just for **** and giggles on Friday night, and on the way back to the valley I misjudged the proximity of the rumble strips to my right front tire as I was going about 90 around a big bend. There was also a trail of water going across the road that I didnt see until I was in it. Tire lifted, car got squiggly for a few seconds, but came right back as I clutched and took my foot off the gas. Regained control, contuinued the cruise. It was more fun the scary. There were NO other cars on the road, and it was just that kinda night. As a matter of fact, I didnt see on car on the southbound side highway 87 on the way back. The supercharger loved every minute of the drive too. it was 70 degrees in Payson...

yeah thats what i do too steve. i inside out the curves and everything. i love driving my car like that. it can handle almost anything. i think if the water wouldnt have come into play, i woulda been ok, but when the front lifted, and the rear hit the water it was all she wrote.
