Negative Ghost Rider,

There are a bunch of other ways to give you more reliable and proveable horsepower. Work on a full exhaust system, the 3/16 mod gets re-learned by the ecu and it does no good for you then

Good Luck

You can get way more boost by capping the wastegate and the nipple on the compressor

It makes your peak boost uneven. It never actually settles but instead wobbles around. Its not worth the extra 1psi you might get.
