Default Can anyone think of a reason (besides me saying bull****), why my basically stock turbo and related

parts, intake, SMIC, K&N (nothing you say will get me to take it out), and no boost leaks will hold steady at 15 PSI, and peak at 17.1 PSI?

I get an airflow (reported) of 172 g/s as well, run APR v2.0 code, and have an LX turbo (it was replaced in Aug 03).

Default sounds right unless that is redline

its a one bar chip and 15psi is really close to 1bar. don't count the spike as anything.

Yeah, I do like supreme-o bragging when I can. Good to know everything is inline and working though.
