Seeing sustained boost of 1.4/1.5bar w/ K16 billets w/fuel kit, EPL dyno tuned,
I have check waste gaits..moving freely, they along with DV's were replaced just over 1 year ago with upgrade, power is steady no change. The 1.5b is at full throttle....it may be me but I don't seem to hear as much bolw off when throttle is cut after full boost???

My car does that on pump with A28s, so the boost by itself is not a problem. The other half of the equation is timing. You will need to data log to see that but I suspect its not more than 16-17 degrees at redline WOT which has been safe on my car on 93 oct...

Thanks, Tony I did. Where exactly should we be looking for a leak?
Scott - Call in and speak with Dave. We've seen a number of cars coming in with small leaks in the pressure reference side of the boost control system that have resulted in minor over boost conditions. Im not too worried abotu the boost your seeing, I just dont want it to go much higher.
At 1.4 bar and 16 degrees advance with a28's on a proper set up... your at least 2-3 degrees from MBT and are likely driving up EGT running timing that low. I would be more worried about heat then knock a that point.
