Ah-ha! I knew I heard that some where. Thanks Simon.

Now, a good question would be: If you had the low-tech Spark Tech COP, would there be a difference in going from 28psi to 32psi?

In other words, is the fact that you saw no increase in power going from 28psi to 32psi due to the turbo running out of mojo, or due to an alleged weak OEM ignition? Ummmmm!

Anybody?
