Hi guys, Ive had this problem with my car. Video says it all but just to give a little incite, at 3k it will be 5 psi, 4k, 10psi, and 5k it will be at 15psi. It feels like its being held back. It will buck in first gear at WOT.

14b builds hella boost at free rev IDK how much, but enough to get a BOV nice and loud easy, even with small jabs.

This is all with launch control on link.

IDK what a FP red does, I haven't tried to show off or launch it yet.
