What programming are you running? I have those straight pipes and have not had any over boost issues. This is running proto software with an electronic boost controller.

Was tune done specifically for straightpipes or was this mod added afer the fact?

When I bought my car, it had AWE pipes on it AND it was overboosting terribly. With the previously installed Greddy boost controller, I basically had to start over, bring all of the gains down and start adjusting from there. I stayed at .85 until I got to know the car better.

Was your programming from proto done specifically for the awe pipes??? I have AWE pipes and will need to do some reprogramming for new turbos. What kind of power is your car making??

Correct. I've been told its making HUGE power with the current turbo's and fueling but imho it's around 500'ish. It just feels like more than that bc it's been on a substaintial diet when compared to street cars.

I have the UVM Stage 1 16/24's w/100 cell cats (no mufflers) and Gunter program. I only drive it on the weekend and want to do some more track ( we don't have any db rules)....I should probably just shoot Kevin a PM and see what he says.
