A Special Thanks To Tony@EPL and Chris@AMS
I wanted to thank Tony (EPL) and Chris (AMS) for helping me get my car running right. The car is now seeing 1.3-1.4 bar consistantly and is a blast to drive.
Summary of what happened:
As some of you know its been a real ordeal trying to get my car to run right. So finally after a new cooling system, transmounts, and a new crankshaft ventilation system. I got my car over to AMS and worked with Chris. The car was origionally tuned to boost 1.3-1.4 bar however, I would only see 1.3 for a second and then .9-1.0bar. My car only put down 465rwhp and 470tq by the last run my car was making 482rwhp and 552tq. At some points the car was making 100whp more. It turns out that the car's aquamist system was hitting into failsafe for some reason and the car was going into wastegate boost. We were not concerned about the numbers that we were putting down because we found out that the Dynojet and Tiptronic cars just dont like each other. The conclusion we came to is that the tq converter was not fully locking up on the dyno and therefore was not loading the car right. No matter how much boost we lowered or raised we ended up within 20-30whp. I know the car before at 1 bar was making about 500whp on a dyno dynamics because I would race Vinod (in mexico of course) and we would be dead even no matter how fast we went. His car was making 500whp on a dynodynamics dyno. We will be going to dyno both of our cars next friday He has upgraded his clutch and will be running K24/18G's, 72lb injectors, and race gas/93 mix. Tony said that he will be sending me a new map today that will yeild a bit more power. We will post our results after we get done.
Also going to the dragstrip tomorrow can't wait to see what times I run.
Once again, Thank you Tony and Chris!

We can borrow it from Markski! I know the box is faulty 
Tony , if you read this ...You have an email. Car is running way too rich according to the shop after the injector install and new flash, might need your help.

You are running the same base file that roughly 20 or so other are... its likely not flash related.
I can work with your shop to review hardware.

Mine ran rich when I installed a 5bar FPR with the 60lb injectors. The two didn't play well together. Went back to the stock FPR and all was fine.
