I'll look into that.

I got the OBDII Bluetooth dongle connected and used iPhone app to get a boost gauge. It seems a bit delayed, so not sure how accurate it is. It's also "calculated" boost, and not real measurement.

Could not get it past 15psi, should not it be 20?

It's going back on a dyno next week. Will compare the torque and hp line profiles to my previous runs. If I see a significant low-end dip or any substantial change in line curvature, it's going back to dealer.

Just hoping it's not all in my head. Would hate to be "that guy".
