Slow and getting slower

Got the alignment done today and switched out the springs in the wastegate. When I took it apart it looked like one of the fittings was in too far and the valve was catching on it...so maybe that has something to do with it. The new spring gives me about 7-8psi, and it feels like another 100hp. If Dyn cyl air is a direct relation to torque, like ive heard, then I gained around 70hp going from 4psi to 8psi. Still need to play with my boost controller to see if I have it set up right...

Almost had a very bad day....went to change the plugs out for the br7ef and driver side went fine, except for breaking another plug wire, damn things. Passenger side went well until I went to put in #4 which happens to be right by the downpipe so its the hardest to reach...it started going in crooked so apparently the threads messed up somehow. I used my thread chaser and managed to clean it up so the plug went in straight. Close call though, the spark plug holes always make me nervous because of how fragile those threads are.
