well i know people dont believe but thats ur choice, your more than welcome to come and have a drive and see for yourself

right and you do know a spike means it overboosts then comes back down when the wastegate opens

yeah know what over boost is just a 2.2 bar map sensor wont be able to cope at the psi you mention. Would need a 3 bar.

Well on 7500 its a long ratio box,i didn't no for sure if he had a raised limit or not. But he hasn't so its a long ratio box at 150mph in 5th.

it could cope with 28psi all day long as the map sensor will handle about 31psi max, the 34 is a spike not a constant pressure it drops down as soon as the wastegate opens, i wouldnt have a spike but my manual boost control is a good distance away inside the cabin

oh right then. I never knew that an increased rev limit turned a gear box into a long ratio one. Cool.

a 2.2 bar map sensor will be out of range at those levels. part of the 2.2 bar is atmospheric pressure.
