Wow, those are some nice numbers and only at 18 PSI! I have your exact setup except I have a Q300. I assume your stock BPV had no problem holding the pressure? Also, what is the gains expected out of a Process West TMIC? I read on clubwrx around 30WHP/30AWTQ - is that about right?
Does PDX Tuning also come back again in November?

Is it then safe to say that upgrading the tmic would be just to have a more reliable tmic and less heat soak? If thats the case, I dont think paying for a retune of an upgraded TMIC and a bit higher boost would be worth it.
If that's the case I think I'll only purchase the Grimmspeed EBCS alone instead of with the process west TMIC and turbosmart kompact bov. And I'll be ready for PDX next time they come.

As to who is a better a tuner? its all personal preference. I say find someone your comfortable with and stick with them. With that being said I have been tuned by both tuners on the exact same turbo and some other changes (nothing to crazy). I am also one of the few in Hawaii (maybe only) that has comparable data on both tunes and actual track data. If you want my honest opinion you can PM me as I do not want to start an online ***** measuring contest over who is the better tuner, Chris or Jarrad?
Finally, data logs dont lie and 1/4 mile time slips SURE as hell don't lie.

I mean, each tuner is different just as every car is. They may have different styles and preferences in how they make their power. Again, it really is all down to preference from our end all the way to their end. I think the comparison would actually be pretty cool to see from an educational stand point.
Just my 2 cents
