Message	Our setup is very similar. I've finally worked out my boost leak issues and the car feels very strong. It's never felt this good since I've owned it. Running 12 psi is very conservative I think. With the JWT ECU, we only had to add a little gas in the lower to middle rpm range to get us to 11.5:1 A/F ratio. With 94 octane gas you should be ok running 15-17psi in short bursts. Wait until you run 17psi or even 21 psi. The car just pulls amazingly hard when you get into the boost. I'll be posting my latest dyno here in a little bit. Rodel 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo - garage queen 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe - her ride 2004 Nissan 350Z Roadster - daily driver
