Message	program....The only way you could be running that much boost is by backing off the timing in the program....Not the way I would do it. More timing will make your car more fun to drive....but you can not run 17 psi of boost with proper timing on 91 octane. I would take a look at your plugs.....I bet you have aluminum spinkles on them at that boost level with 91 octane.
