I have a Forge WGA also, Shawn, which allows for the high boost with (what is supposed to be) no problems. There was no operator error, the MD we ran on was just (for whatever reason) calibrated very low. The owner of IMP and operator of the dyno (Joe) even told us that. John (JestrTuning) said the correction from IMP's Mustang Dyno to the Mustang Dyno that he operates on out of his shop in Orlando, FL is 55%. Take it or leave it, that is what it is. If anyone has a problem with the numbers or correction factor, I urge you to goto IMP and put your car on the rollers and prepare to be embarassed. Travis' car wasn't "lower than expected" he just has a boost leak which became obvious when John maxxed out the boost and showed this to him that his car would not go past the 16.5 mark no matter what he did. Time to keep reading to see what I have to post next.
I said my MBC was rock solid at lower boost. I have no idea how it would perform at the boost level your running. I basically said it just to reassure the MBC haters out there.

Yea, I would not have the balls to go that high on boost. How many pulls did you make? Even with VP C16, we slowly made 1PSI increments making sure there was no problems. I thought it was a dyno day so I didn't think you could make many pulls so that's why I thought it would be bad pushing boost that high with just methanol unless you had some leaded?

Again, there is NO correction # on a dyno. Is this ricer land? You make a pull and you take what you get. It sounds like the results are not anywhere close to reality given that 55% stat.

That place is definately on the stay the hell away from.
