I do not own a car dealership, but my wife may disagree with that. I live in Dutchess County, NY, not far from Poughkeepsie.

Is that where the boost drops off in the subies? It's the same for the skittles.

The other thing worth noting is that you shouldn't be shifting at redline (not saying that you do, but if you are). I shift my STI at about 5900 rpm.

Boost drops off as you near redline. The stock turbo is just very inefficient up in that range and it generates a ton of heat, which results in pulled timing and loss of peak power.

but thats a good looking STi graph, stage 2 protuned im guessing? whats kind of boost are you running? Im running 18 psi tapering to 13 psi. My tuner said i could probably run 19+ psi tapering to 14 psi especially since im at sea level but this car is a daily driver so ill keep the tune a little conservative.
and ive been shifting at redline every time. ill try shifting at 6000 rpm, im sure that would give me a better trap speed instead of riding out 3rd gear to 7000 rpm
