Ive had my XR6T for about 9 months now (6months with the flash tuner). I love my car and it goes like the clappers and I care for it a lot but after reading a few threads on the Generic Capa tunes I'm getting a little worried on how unhealthy my car could be running. My 03 BA XR6T 4sp has done 18000k's. I have got a Herrod stainless steel twin 2.5" cat back exhaust, Capa larger front mount intercooler, K&N panel filter with SS inductions CAI. When I run the 8psi tune(95octane) I'm running 11-12 psi and when I'm run the 10psi (98octane) I'm getting 13-15psi depending on if it hot or cool. Is this normal for what mods I've got. I haven't had it checked out by a tuner becausw there really isn't anywhere nearby that can help me. Closest place is Townsville QLD but I haven't heard good things so my next options are cairns or Mackay. So I will be traveling to cairns next month to get this sorted and get my valve springs upgraded. I'm just curious am I just paranoid or just lucky, any thoughts appreciated.

Its called overboost and its not real healthy. I've flash mine back to stock til I can get a custom tune. Best to get it on a dyno if ya can.Someone more technical might be along shorthly to explained it better.Hope this helps a bit.

He is located in Mackay.
