4k FIRM!!
so I made the mistake of buying a Isis manual boost controller. over boosted and now it's acting funny. got a new MAF on the way, which I think is the cause. bought new spark plugs since they got toasted as the truck ran rich and I have brand new splitfire coilpacks waiting to be installed. i have no time to work on it at all anymore so my loss is someone's awesome gain. it runs, but won't rev over 3 grand and bogs under boost.
yes I checked for boost leaks and the other obvious. and for everyone asking about the overheating issue...don't get stuck in traffic on a hot day. simply put. don't ask what it needs and all this nonsense.
