I wish I knew who did it. They clearly dont need to be in business. Im just glad we found the issue. Im still in shock and awe over it and never would have thought that it was the problem. Good thing we put it on the lift and inspected the DP.

Im still running the Forge WGA with the Red spring and its spiking to 28lbs and holding around 20lbs to redline. Virtual Dyno shows 381hp/334tq on a 4th gear pull. I pray that no one else ever has this issue.

Here's the pics from today.

I agree. Mitsu told me that the guy who traded it in "switched it all back to stock."

Wow so you bought this from a dealership? As soon as you found that I would of taken it to them and made them fix it or at least pay for whatever it cost you to get it fixed.

at least that is resolved. personally i'd pull the 28psi down a notch or two. maybe check spark plugs and compression test the motor while you are at it.

Yeah. I have to order the plugs. Went to a couple places today and they didn't have any NGKs in stock. I turned the Hallman down two more turns after the last log. Shouldn't spike past 26 but I'll know for sure when I can do some more logging. Boost gauge showed a peak of 26.8 on the last run I did coming home.

As for a compression test, I may look into that too.
