It shouldn't be running that much boost through the stock tune. Factory tune should see it sit somewhere between 4.5-6psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I tune it back to stock without buying a capa tuning device?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
