You want to find out what's in there: flash, JB4 or JB4+BEF.
Another thing I thought of is that the wastegates were of course very sloppy and loose. I adjusted the arms where 5.5 to 6 Hg of vacuum would fully close the wastegates. I read online somewhere that that's the pressure they should have to close stock. I think that should be fine but I wonder if they're not opening as early as the computer would like now.
