One caveat-I have the tuner box tugged under some wires near the firewall. when I pulled it out to increase the boost the casing had signs of previous melting. I bought some high temp silicone rap to insulate.
So raising the boost up for you didnt make much of a difference? Also what octane gas do you have available in your area? The best I can get at the pump here is 91 oct.

Great thing is the weather has been in the low 70's for a while so the car runs nice and cool!

Thanks for the forewarning regarding the location of the JB install. I'm sure that area of the engine bay does get hot considering the device is set on the vicinity of the turbo/downpipe.
