Default Not quiet yet..

I"m trying to decide what interface and tuning platform I want... As a matter of fact i'm going to get a manual Boost Controler and turn the boost down to only hit 12-14psi or so. I don't want any major Spikes in Boost with the TIP and it looks like and MBC will be the best defence of that.

Can't wait to feel the top end on these Hybrids!

Thanks Jacob!!!!
