we get stuck with that crap here in Ca too. best bet is to try a tank of 76 and an ecu reset and see if it goes away.

Never believe your assdyno.

You've had bad pump gas lately and just hit a better patch, who knows?

My car has always been better at 5krpm and onward. With my sgt4 utec setup the thing keeps pulling until redline like a ****.

"a few more ponys" egads, don't say that. This sounds like a Saturn forum.

I've seen 18 pounds boost for a short time after decending out of the sierras after a few days at altitude! I happens around the foot hills and only lasts just a few minutes, but it did have more kick for a bit. I have boost gauge and the red warning light comes on with excessive boost!
