UPDATE



Swapped out the STS kit for a Nelson Performance front mount kit. Changed from a Garrett .67/81 to a Master Power 70/96. Installed a new cam from Patrick G. Spec'd out for a 6.0 with boost, so not necessarily spec'd specifically for my application. 22X/23X.

Try the videos now. In the video is 11-12. But now the controller or the setup for the WG/Controller is not holding boost at the specified setting. In 2nd it starts at 8, when it shifts it jumps to 11 and stays.
