Higher elevation probably allows you to get away with both, less air to compress means less heat and less boost. The two combine maybe close to the 185.

[QUO That's with no tune and just the mods shown in my signature.[/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]

Why are you staying away from a tune? The tune is what makes all this extra "work".
You act as though your concerned about issues but the issues wouldn't be realevant if you were to just get the appropriate tuneing on your ECU. I think you would find more zip in your step with just the tune than with just the pulley.
If you are worried,
if you want power,
if you want to experiance the full ability of the gain in boost,
GET YOUR ECU SENT OUT TODAY!
I assure you, you won't be dissatisfied.
PS if you are they will turn it back to stock and refund your money. What have you to lose?

GOSH! After Tighed1 boost findings,I"m now more interested than ever towards the 185 pulley with cooling mods. Stock idler pulley with a longer belt. And (YES) A tune! I'm still somewhat concerned with the increased waterpump rpm's. Maybe by income tax returns, the magic formular will be discovered. Don

You maynot be able to achieve that one without a machinest on hand.

absolutely, i have seen wideband logs of stacked pulleys (21psi) and they get waaaay ugly lean once the boost builds up, watching the afr curve go from a mid 12 to a jump into the 17afr is crazy and very dangerous to the very expensive amg motor!!!!!!!

i assume were hitting the max of the map sensor causing some of the issues but im checkign into that, either way please get a wideband on the car if you try to install them stacked again but i would absolutely not recommend it yet.

does anyone know the map sensors limitation off the top of their head so i wont have to pressurize one with a volt meter?

I would think you have a boost leak somewhere. I saw 19lbs of boost yesterday at the track with just my Code 3 and on the street I see 17-18. Also, where is your boost gauge tapped?

Question: Why?
Answer: $$$$$

When I get the "extra" money to get a tune I'll get one.
Will also have to do research to see which tune gives the best results as report by my friends here on CrossfireForum.org!

Donations towards tune accepted!!

I believe that the 4000 ft difference in elevation may be the difference in boost, not a leak.
Boost is tapped at the "Y" that comes out of the IC. Have seen a lot of us have used the same spot.

I installed mine at the Y as well and that was the issue. I had a loose worm clamp that was leaking boost. My gauge was reading 13-14 with the Code 3 as well, then I went back over all the possible connections and found the issue. It looked perfect, but is was just not seated correctly. Now I see the 17-18 on the street all the time. The oil blow thru makes it very easy to get a leak. Just my experience....Good Luck!
