Thanks Brad -

I've been E-mailing Galiger and he has said the same stuff - 3" downpipe, boost control....

I know that turbo can pump hellatious pressures cuz my wastegate arm froze the gate closed. Seems a spark dropout kicks in when the boost hits 18+. When I fixed it the boost only comes to 15 PSI and is controlled by the the EEC-IV. I am hip about that knock sensor, I've been thinking the boost and ignition timing is held way back below 4000 RPM then comes on, but its too little too late. I have not tried 93 or 94 octane but I will now.

Thanks again.
