pretty sure if it was tuned "to 16psi" the wastegate would open at 16psi... otherwise it's not really tuned to 16psi is it? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ok look they said 28X RWKW on 16psi dyno tune.. i will get my hands on that sheet! Also i will get the list of everything he put in the motor etc and will post it up soon.. We dont know if it will run 9's, like dvs said wait for the time slips! But as GMXTC said if he doesnt then mick(pauls dad) will spend as much as he needs to do so, but im sure it should Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
