well the answer is...no the V70 AWD doesnt like to boost above about 5psi, so i plumbed an MBC between the BCS and the actuator and now it spikes to 11ish, and settles at 10psi so im happy for now.
I forgot how quick these bricks are tbh, and i couldnt help grining like a child when i gave it a bit of death on the coast road, the only dissapointment (more of a surprise) was that going up a very long hill (sitting dead on 10psi in 4th, WOT) i experienced what i think was fuel cut, a sudden jolt, this was after about 6 to 7 seconds of constant boost, and tbh i thought it wouldnt be an issue at 10 psi?
Thinking my boost guage (plumbed into the factory vac line under the dash) might not be reading right, i plumbed another direct to the vac tree, and its definately spot on 10 psi...?
It only happened the once, hmmm, maybe i just hit a cat? haha
