I have a GU Patrol with a Barra Turbo swap. Its FG gas bottom and BF head. Got a few things done making 400rwhp running about 20psi. My issue is that when you realy put the boot into it in 2nd gear at around 3500-4000 it looses all power instantly, if you let off it kicks back in. Its backfires and...

Have a pretty stock BA xr6t, has xr8 pod style filter, hi flow cat and 2 1/2 inch exhaust. I bought a flash tuner with a 11 psi tune on it. Is this too much boost for stock internals? If so could I just regulate the boost down to say 8-9psi with a boost controller? If not what PSI should I ask for i...
