They might have had three cars blow up on their dyno but there are a lot of variables and unforseen circumstances as well.

I have a helper spring for the wastegate arm that held my VF 22 at 19psi. Let me know if you want it.

What is MBT?

Either
MBT (Minimum Spark Advance for Best Torque) The least ignition advance timing that produces maximum torque while holding all other variables constant.

or
MBT (minimum best timing). Advancing the timing further increases the chance of knock and also increases vehicles emissions of hydrocarbons and NOx.

Maximum Brake Torque. The optimum spark timing that gives the maximum brake torque. In a very small nutshell when no more power can be gained by advancing the timing throughout the ignition tables. Once you find MBT on a motor rule of thumb is to take a couple degrees out of the corresponding ignition tables.

Tightening the wastegate arm is usually done to eliminate wastegate flutter (something I should do for my car). Too much can cause boost spikes though.

Can't be done on a VF 22.
