Thanks. That is a lot of info - much of it you lost me on. I am very new to the performance game and I have no idea what SMBC is all about(or is for that matter). I already have a K&N air filter on and I always use Sunoco 93 fuel. I also used the plugs you described and have them gapped at 1 mm - I don't know what that translates to in non-metric. I will pick up some Techron Concentrate tomorrow - seems like a good idea. Like I said in my original post - the car has a lot of power and runs great, I just thought I should be boosting well into the red, and it seems to back off way too early. This is my 5th 9000 turbo (2nd Aero 5 speed), and all the others would boost longer and farther. It is interesting that I have been given such varying advice on this subject. I think I will just check and/or replace all the hoses and valves for now, along with the Techron, and see where that brings me before I start making adjustments to the wastegate. I am vary curious about the SMBC though and I would greatly appreciate more detailed information. Assume that I know nothing about SMBC though, because that is the case.
Thanks, Tim
