How long does the boost hold @28, the reason I ask is I thought the ECM had a saftey net of no more than 25psi for any longer than 3 seconds. I may be wrong, but I tought this saftey feature was in effect regardless of tune, or tunes. Also, the 28psi was that registered on the dyno or guage?
-Tom, sorry to keep asking ??'s but, I'm debating adding the Trifecta Tune over my GMPT, and won't purchase till I feel comfy.

Well, I know that with the Trifecia tune I have, it will hold 24lbs. longer than 3 seconds. I've held it at least 5 seconds[maybe 6] until I ran out of room, and I was going well over 100 mph, three times.
Not sure about 28 lbs., but 24 will hold as long as you dare[at least mine does].

Trifecta and HPT both found a way to work around the factory boost limit without you having to have the GMS 1 sensors.

Trifecta will also be handling tuning on this kit and the funny thing is that Dave (at Dejon) who fabricated this kit and sells HP Tuner recommended that I go with Trifecta for tuning the same way he has on his car. That should let you know that Tom and Vince are on top of the game when it comes to tuning our engines.
Vince @ Trifecta is great, I was having issues unrelated to the tune and after sending him Data Logs that I attained with the Trifecta software he was able to guide me to the problem. I had installed all of my piping and a K&N intake system and after reading the logs he told me that something on the piping or intake was leaking. I checked it all out and found my filter was loose and after tightening I was running hard with no more issues. Trifecta spent two days holding my hand till it was all resolved.

Hmm....from what I remember reading, the go fast guys didn't run into any mechanical problems till they hit over 700 hp...now, thats just the bottom end, and it was the piston pins galling up...somewheres in the 400+ range they had to ring the cylinders to hold the boost pressures....

My turbo will never have a chance to scream FU because sitting in my garage is the NEW DEJON!!! 430hp(engine) Mitsubishi - Forced Performance FP 68HTA Kit for HHR SS that is moments from being installed.

Nope, the GMS 1 will also let you go above the boost limit, if you desire. I currently run 24 psi max boost and it will boost that wot till I let off.

Anyways for now I have a GMS1 tune, so warranty will cover everything.
Like I've said many times if the dual/stealth tune would have been tested in the field at the time I got the GMS1 I definitely would have gotten the Trifecta over the GMS1.
