For instance, Sometimes you can run less WGDC to hit the same boost and pick up power(win-win) by a change in VANOS but sometimes you get the jump WGDC and a drop in power(lose-lose.)

We stress the importance of a dyno in this situation because, honestly until you get a very good feel and understanding of it, you can end up chasing your tail and never catch it.
Completely agreed Allen! That's one of the reason I've been hesitant about VANOS tuning... My maps are looking great, just minus VANOS... LOL
Do you know if Cobb will ever allow ATR users to raise/adjust boost ceiling tables? It seems that if a person went out and purchased aftermarket turbos, and or build themselves a single turbo kit; it requires that person to have a PTF tune...
