I'm running close to that on boost but ever since I installed this new turbo and up pipes it has been hell keeping her under 1200°.my compressor housing is machine out for a 67 mm wheel and I'm running a 66 until my other one gets here so I'm thinking maybe that is it . If not I'd because it was fine before this turbo
