eric, thanks for the reminder. my tps is barely breaking into the 3.00 range. sometimes it doesn't get that far. so, i'll fix that.

now, i'm pretty sure that my gasoline mixture doesn't have enough kick to tame the 18 psi that my car is whipping up. once again, i don't know how or why it's that high, but it is! so, to cure that, i will crank down the boost to 15 psi. i think i should lengthen the actuator rod right?

i'm really close to getting this problem fixed. keep the input coming.

Lenthen for less boost is correct.
