the boost curve follows the tq curve (go figure :bloated:)  
anywho, its controlled by the ecu. it comes up to 14psi, and then tappers down to 9psi (thats what the wg actuator is set to).

so i am thinking… remove the boost control solonoid, and toss a manual boost controller in there. that should make it hold 180-200 ft lbs of tq up to 5500-6k. not a bad 15 dollar mod. lol

as long as its around or above 2k its great, but if you’re around 1500 rpm, its no vr6.

intake, 3" dp and exhaust, gt28r… i am working on a dsam of the ecu now so i can tune it. 250-300whp, nothing crazy.  
i have the eibach pro kit (shocks and springs) i still need to pick up wheels and tires, and maybe some larger sway bars… but i dont know yet. i was going to auto-x it this year and see if it needs them or not.
