The car is now hitting 18psi...
What was the max psi when Bobby was tuning it? I wouldn't run a single psi over what it saw on the dyno since they wouldn't have had a chance to dial everything in at that boost pressure.

The burning oil is a concern, but maybe it will go away as the motor breaks in further. Sometimes new motors eat oil. I've got my fingers crossed.
