Thanks for clearing up that misconception! Makes perfect sense. I'll look into dsmlink after I finish maintenance. Will the 1g MAF read enough air with the 16g @ 15psi? I believe my roommate has a 2g MAF. Also, are the stock injectors able to support that much over factory boost?

The exhaust sounds really smooth when idling/cruising, the wastegate is pretty loud, so its hard to really tell how loud the exhaust is at WOT.
