After 4 emails and 50$ extra the remaining parts for Travs build are on there way from OTTP. I guess (2) Thursdays ago they got the pistons and they were not correct, they had the top coating on the piston, and they didnt inform me. They supposedly requested new pistons from Diamond and I was supposedly getting the pistons sent direct Wednesday. So they offered the pistons with the coating for 50$ instead of typical 95$ upcharge.
Another thing that bugs me is I chose USPS so it would get here quicker but they did UPS instead.... ugh.. What a nightmare.

Hey not really a problem but a question, after my catless dp install through 2nd gear I have noticed my boost hitting at 20lbs then falling off when I'm getting to high rpms close to redline, i think it used to hit 23 and never fall. Ive not seen or been able to check if this is happening in my other gears, obviously I need to be retuned but I'd like to know the facts of it for my own knowledge as I'm still learning about tunes and mods. Thanks!

i don't have a TC some this may be wrong ( at the moment I have nothing !! ) , but when I installed my Dp in my Sc I also noticed boost to be reduced by few and was informed since the back pressure is reduced , the boost is lower since not as much is needed to "push" air out or something like that, so your producing more HP with less boost basically. Now again my way of explaining may be incorrect or not apply to you or TC'd cars.

Bobby, I see this in these small turbo when tuning. I am guessing its just losing breathe.
More free flowing system will yeild less boost, doesnt mean you lost power. Just means we up the boost! haha
