When you see Shiv, tell him everyone at DSMTuners says to go jump in a vat of crap. He's a jerkoff.
Other than that, I like your list. One question....why set the WGA at 14PSI and the BC at 19PSI?

Shiv is like Latin or Greek - very difficult, but makes everything else seem easy. But he has been known to smile on my efforts, rarely. He's OK in my book but maybe it doesn't seem that I think that way.
Regarding the WGA psi versus the MBC psi...when I had just the AGP WGA and no MBC, I found it was necessary to overtighten the AGP WGA adjusting nuts so they were almost touching to get 18psi...this meant that there was way too much load on the WGA arm...some SRT-4 owners even broke their AGP WGA actuator arms doing this. Also, adjusting the WGA too tight caused studder (jerkiness when flooring the gas at 2Krpm...I usually avoid that anway, but you get what I mean). So I found that adjusting the WGA to 13psi (I reduced it from 14 even) and then raising boost with the MBC to 19psi (raised thet too) got rid of the studder and allowed me to hold higher boost (about 14psi) from 4500 until redline (the small stock turbo can only produce so much boost before running out of breath at high rpm).
Oh and for the WGA/MBC pressure source, I found that running a line from the manifolt (where the boost gauge connects to the Throttle Body) makes for a much smoother ride (again, no studder) than what I previously had with the WGA/MBC connected to the Green line off the back of the turbo (with that setup, the car produced crazy TQ but was studdering at mid rpm a bit...and I believe HP was down even though TQ was up).
This seems like a really nice forum. Look forward to hanging out here for a while.
