Default Tip boost levels

tip apr v5 guys...what do you see for boost levels or what is spec on a tip ecm. I see;
1st-12psi spike 10-11psi steady
2nd-5th- 15 spike 12-13 steady.

This seems low to me, I had heard apr set the tip boost levels lower but I wanted to know if others see this same boost. What does GIAC x run on a tip?

Default Re: Highest I've seen my car request is .990 bar

will it hold the requested boost or spike .990 and fall back very quickly? That is on par with my spike, but then it taper off quick to 11-13psi

Default I run the Giac X chip...

which is set to hit 1.2 bar (spikes to 1.3 bar) and then settle to 1.0 bar, and that's in every gear.

Default I think spikes like that could hurt your tranny...

or am I wrong? Why are you selling all your stuff, getting rid of the car or changing setups?

Default APR V5 91 octane - B Box, max req boost is 2160

I haven't really enough testing to know what it tapers to, however.

Default i don't think that extra .1 or .2 boost is going to hurt the tranny anymore than...

the increased stress already put on it by having the chip, exhaust, dp's in the first place. I would've stayed stock if I were that concerned, or not willing to pay, in the 1st place.
I'm selling my stuff b/c I sold the car and bought a B6 S4.
I haven't seen your car around? You're in the Bay Area?

Default Boost spikes hurt the tranny. Not sure if 1.4 bar is enough to do it...

but it is in fact the spikes that hurt it, not the regular 1.2 bar peaks. So I've been "told."

Why did you decide to go with the new non-turbo S4? I'd love to see it / drive in it. I'm in Oakland, though haven't participated in any events. Maybe we should hook up. Feel free to send me mail if you like.
