Boost holding nicely until 4k+ RPM... then dropping

That spinning thing that makes all of the cool noises. OE and Aftermarket.

Does your stock or hybrid stock turbo hold boost until redline?

K - tbird/vf11 hybrid? Or another hybrid?

What are you using for boost control? BOV?

T-bird hybrid turbo. Bleeder valve for boost control. Stock bypass valve that might be causing some problems.

so with my setup, is it safe to run 12psi?

EJ22T
TD04 w/ WRX TMIC
STOCK Metal MAF
STOCK INJECTORS
WRX fuel pump

I have the black plastic MAF if that works. Will my injectors be maxing out at this 12psi with the WRX fuel pump?

You'll probably max out the MAF.

From what I've heard/read the turbo legacy pump actually flows more then the wrx pump. So you may want to keep an eye on things with a wideband.....at least to initially check it out.
