Nice Man, I'm still trying to find the right non-abused L myself. Few of my friends have them. Invest in some better rear tires...

Very jealous. Must be nice to have a full size sedan and a truck with speedos that go to 140. :)

The MM and L make a very nice combo, if I don't say so, myself :D

Seems like too much has already been done, to not have a pulley swap... How much boost have you seen on the gauge, under WOT? The other thing you should do is see if you can find out who provided the tune on the predator (or if it's off-the-shelf from Diablo).

DSG looks pretty sharp with the chrome wheels and speeds scene grille :up:

Shameless, I know, but here's a pic of mine:

Something isn't right, there... Stock will make 8lbs. With a 6lb lower and ported blower I'm seeing around 15-16, in decent weather. You should be seeing 13-14, with that combo. Try the simple stuff, first... Is the belt tight? Does it show signs of slippage (a lot of dust from wear)?

I'm not sure if you have a boost bypass kit, or if you just unplugged the wires for you boost bypass, but it could also be that the boost actuator was not properly set. Scroll down on this page here (http://home.midsouth.rr.com/lightningpage/tips.html), to see if that's it... After that, I'd start looking for a vaccuum leak...

As for the tune, I'm not familar with the predators, but would assume most vendors would add a sticker with their name, or there would be some way to identify who built the tune, in the device itself...
