Default ok so in the spirit of sharing information, i need to know if there are any of you guys use steve's

or some sort of boost machine/conditions and how much are you guys running your car. obviously we do not want to exceed anything more than 25lbs of boost with stock turbo. so i'm asking how much are you guys spiking and holding. i'm thinking spiking at 23 and holding constant at 20 between 3500-6000 rpm range.

also to consider is that when you have more bolt on parts and much better cooling method, you can hold more boost and keep them longer so what type of bolt on parts are you guys using. considering an aftermaket FMIC, DV relo, EVO shield, 42 down pipe, intake (some kind/brand) cat back. bigger maf holder and more fuel, i dont think i miss anything else that can contribute to performance.

i borrow this pic from apr and would like some sort of plot from those who logged their car performance. i used apr but i have revo software. also who here has the sps3 from revo and plays around with timing, boost, and fuel?
for those who used lemmewinks, how much of a different or difficulty it is to use/tune

no dead maf's - still on my second, that the dealer replaced under warranty about 4-1/2 years ago. One bad CP, but I replaced all 4 about 8 months ago.

Default Consensus is virtually impossible...>>

AS NO ONE'S car is exactly like another's. These cars rely so heavily on numerous sensors to operate to potential it would require virtually a Matched set of all the input determinants to get actual equivalencies. Kinda like running different cars on different dynos and trying to compare. Apples to oranges.
Optimize everything you can and you'll have what you have. Someone elses car will always post better numbers due to the variability of the inputs, conditions, and processing involved.

Default No issues...mine are/were all exhaust/cats related...

Though I should note that any loss of boost was directly related to an improperly tuned BM.
