then go out and play and see what kind boost you get and hold
have fun
Hey CJ - I have dropped the car into Competitive mode a couple times now, and it looks like around 19-20psi boost numbers. the car has an aeroforce Interceptor gauge too. Goodies I've figured out so far - TTR Sway bar and front motor mount, GM Performance Turbo upgrade, Borla and looks like a 3" cat back without the muffler. Some sort of alum. cold air side intake with a pretty large spectre Cone filter, Forge Motorsport dump valve, larger slotted front discs, and I suspect some sort of lowering up front. Aeroforce Interceptor gauge, '08 with 57k miles. What are the chances someone would toss a trifecta tune ontop of the gm stuff?

19-20 lbs. boost. Could just be the GMTU (GM turbo upgrade) tune. Those are the numbers I get with mine.
Look at the picture below. If you've got a blue Bosch T-map sensor like the one circled in red, more than likely you've got the GMTU. The stock tune sensors are plain black.

Thanks for pic - yep, that's what's on there! Only curious because sometimes I'll start the car and Cruise Control will be active, and I know I hadn't used it prior.

Hmm. Not sure about the cruise button. I know if I turn my CC "on" at the steering wheel controls it will still be in the "on" mode the next time I drive it.
I don't think it goes to "off" mode unless you push the CC button again.
The ignition turning off/on doesn't turn mine off.

I'm probably fat-fingering it somehow. loving the car though!
