What psi boost are you running ? I would have thought about 21-23 psi.

im happy with how it pulls ,its good enough to smoke a scooby P1 yesterday. Bounemouth rally has been on so every dick with a jap rally rep was out. Its great to see the look on their face when a 15yr old sierra does their 5yr old £15,000 impreza!!!!haa
