Sounds good to me. Actually, in the year and a halfish that I've owned the car, that was the first time I had ever hit 4th gear under WOT, so I guess I don't use it that much anyhow. I just didn't want to change the tune too much for 4th and adversely affect 3rd since it pulls so well in 3rd. I was just worried that it was such a drastic change from 3rd to 4th. From 0.0 knock to 13.2. I'm guessing that means 24ish psi is too much for the stock turbo/injector combo by the time I reach 4th gear?

Regardless, I'll tune for 3rd. If I ever feel I might hit 4th, I'll give the alky knob a little twist before I get there or something. I guess that would be in another year and a half....
