No worries. My car never boosted above 12-13 in normal mode (stock) since day one (I bought my car new). Once flashed, however. I have the opposite problem--my gauge can't read high enough!

Here's a couple of tidbits that could probably make it on Ripley's Believe It Or Not...

1- Last Sunday, our ambients hits 145*F (63*C)

2- A while back, a guy here wanted to show how hot the weather was graphically... He cracked an egg on the hood of his car and took pictures of it. It was actually cooking and simmering. He published the pictures in the newspaper

I hope he didn't wax before he did that...I hate that carnauba taste in my breakfast, lol.

Thank you - that's reassuring! I think I briefly saw 13psi the other day.

Thanks again!
