On top we have the "active" or primary E-throttle map - that's the one in play whenever boost is <10.2psi MGP. The yellow circled cells at 50%AP and 4500RPM illustrate what happens when MGP goes > 10.2 psi MGP, and activates the bottom (shown inactive) E-throttle map - notice the cell is commanding 1/2 the throttle it was before - instant soft boost limit!

I love how solid this thing is now, and that it has 2 pivot points vs. 1 for up & down adjustment - so us taller guys can adjust the mirror so it won't block our vision on tight right-hand corners.

Here's the installed front left Flex-Z. I also ended up priming & painting (black) that roughly 2 inch patch where the plastic wore down to the metal, re-attached the liner with some new clip fasteners, and added some AL tape to detect future rubbing

The AL tape was there to close the seam better, and to act as an indicator of rubbing & sacrificial material. Plastic wore down to the metal though in one spot

This is actually a picture taken before I restored the mats, but you can see why they were worth restoring!

Here's a shot of the passenger side mat underside as it was. I used a putty knife to scrape off all the old foam. In some parts where the foam was still flexible and not crumbling, you can use the knife to start on an edge, and pull the rest off slowly with your fingers. This leaves a little bit of foam behind, but I just used a Scotch Brite pad to scrub off whatever was left.

And here's the passenger mat with all the foam scraped/scrubbed off. Then I hit it with the shop vac to remove any dust from the surface, and it's ready for the Flex Seal.

Here's the Flex Seal product I used. The 1st coat used up about 1/2 a pint, and the 2nd coat I applied used up almost the rest of it.

This is the driver's side mat with the first coat applied & cured after about 18 hours. I noticed that the waffle pattern from the carpet substrate was showing thru in places, and since the mat remained very flexible, I figured a 2nd coat would be necessary.

Here's the driver's side with the 2nd coat applied. Picture was taken about an hour after application, so it's still wet. Gave them a full 48 hours to dry/cure before putting them back in the car.
