Does AMS Abox boost maximum of 1 bar of boost? With my APR and GIAC I was seeing much higher spikes.

My AMS H-box spikes to 1.1bar, settles to 1.0, and then tapers to under bar approaching redline

I've had spikes as high as 1.35 bar on my AMS A-box. Normally hits 1.15 though.

APR spikes lower and is much smoother IMO. It's slower too IMO.

I only see about 1.1x bar max per my gauge. Never really spikes.
