15lbs thats all why was the waste gate cranked shut spiking at 25 lbs? Ill post pics of the turbo when we go pick it from D&W OH AND AN EVEN BETTER ONE Two weeks ago me and my buddy that bought the car went for a drive and started smelling gas thought hmm maybe running a bit rich. FALSE pulled into a gas station popped the hood and boom injector spraying gas everywhere. Limp the car back home. to late to look at it. Next day pop the hood look underneath notice that all injectors had no clips on any of them. WTF!? talk about just throwing shit together! ---

I never was on the car because it needed a better tune. Due to the bigger turbo.I told the kid that , I even called APR and double check as well. They said to buy the k04 software then add addition settings by lemmi. I did not touch the wastegate at all.I never set a boost controller on it either .Was only on the race n75 Not my problem anyways,sold the car “AS IS”.I drove it every day to school which is from colonie to HVCC.Also to work which is up in clifton park.I had no problem with this for the two months I did the swap. Your buddy obviously hit 25lbs on a bad tuned ecu that I informed him of.Thats just being simply retarded ---

15 psi will come on at partial throttle. doesn’t mean he was beating on it. could’ve hit 15 psi on the highway passing somebody not at wot, shifting gears, etc. doesn’t mean he wasn’t hitting full load. shady just drop it, your not proving anything. ---
