Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Okay, so now it's like 30 degrees here and witht the windchill it's like 15 outside. I just got back from taking my car for a ride trying to diagnose when and where my boost spike occurs and check out what happened!
On the highway, opened it up slowly in 3rd gear all the way to WOT.....the boost guauge climbed really quick....
13-13---------18!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH! 18psi! Oh my god, I'm surprised my car didn't scatter itself all over the road, I really hope that my boost guage is busted, or for some reason my turbo's and engine are ungodly powerful!

Ouch - you won't get away with many more of those! MPs are hard to contol boost - especially in the cold air. You can usually tune it out with a Power FC but a cold day is risky at WOT with a MP. I've heard pop-off valves help with contolling boost with when having problems

Pop-off valve? I've seen those they're relatively cheap, how do they work? Or do they at all?
