Start by throwing the Baileys in the bin and either replace with the OE item or blank it off all together.

rather than go by the peak boost which will be higher due to spikes, just plant it in 4th gear @ 3krpm and see what the boost gauge rises too, usually will fluctuate between 12-13 depending on how cold it is. thats standard. not the 14+ peak your seeing

aye & another vote to bin the DV
