Like my tune was setup to get to roughly 18 psi, but the boost would go up and down from like 14-18 psi through a pull, you can't feel it, but can see it in a graph. This is going to fix that and give me, and once it's released, others, consistent boost control. I think the problem is worst for those using flashpro, but all users suffer from it to an extent.
    Damn that's wild. You'd never think something so simple could cause you the issue.

    And it's really not a crazy issue, you can't feel it while driving, and I still ran 11s with the issue but it would be nice to have solid consistent boost, especially that solid consistent18 psi

    I ran a couple 11.8 passes, one was 11.86 the best 11.84, ran one or 2 11.9s and a 12.008 was my first run since the rebuild. My trap was 122-123. It's got much more in it, need to add more boost to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear and hopefully these stiffer mounts hep the 1-2 shift as I was easily losing 2 tenths waiting for it to go into 2nd.

    I want to try and get them in the next week or so. Maybe next weekend.

    From the pics it looks super clean. Engine bay was well taken care of.

    Just got a job offer at a VW dealership... Debating whether or not to take it.
