and any ideas joe on why it does this in first and second gear it runs alright... but when i put it in third it starts to flatline... would this be cause it is pushing a little bit more boost and asking for a little bit more fuel???

i've messed around with a bunch of different combo's of setups and 22-25.6K is about as high as my '95 will go before performance falls off. I went as high as 27.6K in line and it idled fine but had no power for 2nd gear and up. felt like it was running out of fuel and ran pretty flat (FPR is shimmed). Right now im back to 10K until i get a pyrometer.

no exact measurements, i still dont have the time to hook up the scanner. but if my theorys are correct it is demanding too much oil and you arent flowing enough oil and fuel for it to keep up
