    What's the max boost a HKS EVCII can achieve?

    iirc you cannot swap solnoids between different generations. second its relative to your wastegate on a percentage basis. lastly you should not just focus on psi but also what the efficiency island of your turbo is. 25+ psi could be beyond what you need.

    Anyone else get paid irregularly?

    My company is a little odd. Depending on your job code depends if you are salaried or hourly and then there are further break downs but it amouts to getting paid once a month, biweekly(what I have), 1st and 15th, or 15th and last working day of the month. It's odd but everyone seems happy with it
