I'm on OE Nismo tires.

What kind of tires are you guys planning to run after burning the current ones up? I am thinking about Toyo R888s

Not sure just yet. My tires are basically brand new and I don't put a lot of miles on the car so I have some time. I've heard good things about the R888s and they're definitely on my list of possible replacements.

Can't you just turn the gain down on your boost controller?

You know all about that?

I had to man. Couldn't resist.

That's cold

All in good fun, Cosmo

You can't run less than waste gate pressure.

Have them measure boost on the dyno and then calibrate the volumetric efficiency as they do dyno runs.

Yeah I was basically going to use the max boost from the dyno runs as a target and adjust the VE to match it. Just curious, how do they measure boost for the dyno runs?

They will T-into whatever boost reference source is available (probably charge pipe).

Have you ruled out adding a boost gauge/sending unit of some sort? I really like the idea of having a measure of boost at the intake manifold separate from any calculations or ecu interpretations so that I know exactly what the engine is seeing. I have mine tapped into the rear of the intake manifold, which was very simple. Just my

I haven't ruled it out. I was hoping the electronic gauges would work better. PLX does make a boost sensor module that I could hook up and use that value instead of a calculation. It just sucks because I have the original kiwi wifi and would need to get the newer one to hook up the sensor. I might just bite the bullet and do that though if I can't get an accurate reading from the calculation method. You're really never 100% sure with readings anyways. I had a boost gauge on my STi that was off by a couple psi too. My tuner called the gauge "optimistic".

My boost gauge is off by .2 psi.

There's a lot of guys selling gauges and stuff since they're changing their mind on boost. You might be able to vulture a gauge for cheap.

Never done/seen it before, but I would assume they just tee the source on the charge pipe.
