i will leave it for now but is it just adjusting the wastegate to get higher boost? I hit it pretty quick so i think i could go way higher but i also dont want to do head gaskets immediately haha. It also holds boost well through the shifts of course the C6 is set to shift quick so that helps. im starting to hear a whistle at 5psi but i also hear the whine as well, two different sounds i can only guess are the two different wheels. compressor and exhaust. Also for the intake.....any best way for it to be made? does the stock setup provide the best cold air, or?

Hey wreck check out my pictures in my album... that might give you some ideas for a custom intake or i know ghunt has a really nice set up with what he did
And yes you can adjust the max psi with the wastegate... just be very careful you dont mess up the diaphragm in it
Oh yeah almost forgot..........GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyone else running an autometer pyro? i hooked mine up like the instructions and ran my power etc but it wont register. It just sits at right under 100. If i unhook the power it bumps to 200 and when i hook the power back up it goes back to right under 100. Is it my ground maybe? i think its good? Maybe a bad thermocouple?

I can take off the air intake and everything else in 1 minute and everything is right there for you, just did the GPs and it was a breeze.

got the pyro figured!! woohoo! also found the problem with the noise, the DP had just a bit of rub on the firewall. almost had it all bent away, nailed it as well. Man she sounds better. The horrible sound made me wonder if it was okay internally! lol. Word to the wise, ask me where to bend the firewall or anyone who has installed an ATS system with upgraded downpipe. Its different.

... I just bought the upgraded banks down pipe for the stock turbo and id say its pry safe to assume that ill be bending or cutting in the same place
