It pulls way harder with no change in tune, just full boltons.

I chose 5" HD FMIC because of little turbo lag, I actually got less turbo lag because of all boltons.

All the other shops I called/emailed never got back to me and I need my car for the trip.

I noticed a bit of overboost(higher boost than pre boost) after I let go of the gas pedal, I think that's the DV+ upgrade keeping the boost pressure.
I also noticed higher IATs from driving 20 min in under 30 MPH traffic. At the end of the trip(20 min) it was at 107 F. Heatsoak from Bar & Plate design I'm guessing. (83F outside)
I did just install AFE scoop which I hope will keep the IATs low.

As long as I don't hit 120 I'm ok with these numbers.

I am going to install NGK Step Colder after the trip and do an XPH flash & BM3 Stage 2 Flash.

Then I guess I'll dyno at Apex in Clifton if it's only $100.

I think I'll do a full write up on the forums after I dyno and I play with the spark plugs and the tunes.

Couple things here:

Overboost is totally normal after throttle, it happens on completely stock cars.

Afe scoop generally doesn't help IATs, have yet to see a log showing so.

If you're worried about temps, your best bet is Water Wetter. It's truly incredible.

Lastly- turn that boost up. Go stage 2. Your car deserves it
