Interesting. Is there anything else needed, such as a re-tune, with the added boost?

Yes, we found that once we increased the boost (about 16 psi) the stock spark plugs were too hot and we had to go to range 8 in the iridium plugs.
Stiegemeier tried to tell me to use copper type plugs, but they would not work well. A fresh tune to bring the operation to your taste will always help,
but beware the sellers who want to send you a shelf unit - DON'T. and I have to say finding a reliable and experienced tuner to modify your stock unit
will be difficult, but they are out there. I did not re-tune mine and it runs very strong, but I've elected not to go to the track or dyno.
I'm selling my car due to family medical issues. It's in the Forum cars for sale.
