Pegged out Boost gauge
After recently installing a set of Phantom II gauges, thought it would be nice to see what 'Aggressive Race' feels like as tune for daily driving (and no, I don't drive that aggressive). However, once at about a third throttle, (a mild acceleration demand) I saw the Boost psi meter pegged! it went above the 35 marker and would stay pegged even after backing off throttle. This lingered about a second then dropped fast and could hear a loud turbo fart. 
I guess this file is too hot, glad I had gauges.
I had a hard crash on my computer in March and lost all my Spartan files so I am relying only on what was last loaded in this handheld SCT device.
Currently doing a 5,000 mile trip needing something better than the stock pgm, but whatever works.
I'll let everyone know what MPG's I get once back. Towing a 28'er and not towing.
Last trip was 19.8 and still was climbing. (not towing)
