I bet 16 psi felt real good...only wish she could actually handle it all day

So I'm guessing you did not wrap your WG lines to protect them from exhaust temperatures?

I have a $600 shipment coming from SummitRacing just to handle heat management. I'm wrapping turbo manifold, downpipe, all wires, all hoses (WG and any fuel/brake lines in line of site of turbo of manifold piping) and of course bagging the turbo.
