Car is pretty much stock...except for a Works panel filter. I had a mbc installed on the car since apparently later IX's run much lower boost. I think I was spiking at around 21psi...and tapering to around 16.
After the flash I was putting down 275whp / 290tq with 23 psi tapering down to 19. This is also a very conservative tune. I don't know the specifics but there was 0 knock count in the upper rpms. They said aggressively tuned the car could put more than 280whp out from that setup at the cost of overall reliability.

I know Works and probably some others change out the pill and do it with the flash. It's much easier to just get a manual boost controller and do it that way though IMHO.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm pretty sure I will be getting an APEXi AVC-R so I guess I will use it. It will be nice to be able to change boost from inside the car.

even though the numbers aren't really impressive, i'd still get one if i was stock just to remove the launch rev limiter, high boost taper at high rpms, and just be able to rev higher.
the extra 5 or more ponies are not worth getting scared everytime you mash the pedal. would be nice though, but i would never compromise that with reliability.

Why would you want to rev higher if our cars don't make power up that high???

if you're a road racer, you would want to rev high in order to stay in boost and/or to stay in the power band during the upshift during a turn when needed.
if you're dragging, then the higher rev limit would be pointless, but fun nonetheless.
