    it shouldn't

    check your sensor connector, the extra fan speed could be pushing it to a dead spot.

    There's only one place I'm looking when on WOT - that's at the road.

    Last time I hit full boost my PSA told me the stock boost guage went to 7+ and stayed there. That's all I needed to know. And whether I was fast approaching something ahead :LOL:
