presure2,
stock gen3 is rated at 241hp; from what i've read that's at 13psi. considering 15 yrs and 106k on my car, 196 is not too bad but as far as i know no engine mods have been done except a Fujitsubo Legalis-R exhaust so unless it's a rom tune i don't know why i'm running 15psi.

o6spdracer,
Thanks for the info. can you point me to the group buy for Apexi? I looked everywhere but can't find it.
I think i'm gonna go for electronic boost controller like the HKS or Blitz.
I think ATS is the way to go; my goal is 300rwhp with the CT20b and no major engine work but that may be pushing it. if i'm already at 15psi, then with intake, tuning and 18psi there's no way i can get there. i had the car checked before dyno and no turbo leaks or any problems were found. I put redline 5w30 and a bigger filter. it was a hot day (around 27C) but 196 was the highest i got, the other runs ranged to as low as 189.
