Mods to the respiratory system: perrin tmic, GFB bov, mishimoto tb coupler, catless u.p, wrapped Cobb catted d.p, 3" exhaust, and a ptp turbo blanket.
Tuned via ap stg 2. (16.5 psi)
Before I wrapped my downpipe I would experience over-boost but never very far past 17psi. After the wrap went on I would commonly see numbers around 17.5 or so, I ran my comparison "tests" on days with similar temp&humidity. Intake air tempuratures were also slightly lowered.
The turbo blanket is the same story, after install I'm seeing boost pressures upwards of 18.5 psi. Ghetto research done in days with similar temp&humidity again. The intake air temperature was the biggest difference with the blanket. Going from no heatshield to the blanket I saw IAT's while travelling a constant 50mph around 20 degrees lower than what they were.
So, if your REALLY trying to squeeze all the boost you can out of that poor turbo.. some 15$ wrap from advance and a turbo blanket could POSSIBLY grant you upwards of another 2 pounds of that glorious invisible stuff.
At the very least, your engine bay ends up looking way cooler bruh.
