So I just got the motor's 500 mile break in period over and got on the car for the first time... OH MY GOD that thing is fast.....!!!!
I got that adrenaline rush... you know the one that is like a natural high... hehehe

Anyways that was Friday night, on Saturday I installed a boost gauge and found out that I'm spiking (at least on the first turbo) at about 13 psi. Oh no!!! It then settle down to 10 psi. I don't know about the second turbo yet. ( I was to scared to get on it.)
my mods are in the signature.
So I'm going to call pettit on Monday and get some boost pills since they didn't come with my downpipe. I thought that I share my experience here. It was 7 months in the making.
God that car is fast.

Manual boost controller. Much better than pills. One like this is ok...or buy a Dawes device.

Also, grainger sells a little better valve...than the Home Depot one.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not 'planning' on moding the car anymore, so hopefully the simple solution of some restrictor pills should solve my problem...
I hope

Buy or borrow a $15 pressure/Vacuum test guage and tee into the boost gauge at the UIM, just to make sure it accurate.
