Great to hear, lets keep an eye on it....

Whats to high? the boost is RPM dependent, how high are you running?

Talked to RIPP today and they said that my Hypertech programmer was causing part of the problem. Removal of the Hypertech and a little less lead foot will make it less likely to accure. The tourque sensor in the tranny is what is setting off the comuptor. Right now, there is no way around it, but RIPP is working on a way around it. They also said that the longer I drive itm the better it will get. I only have about 300 miles on it now.
