It does coat things in this orange/rust powder over time. Most guys I've known for years that use it say it's been harmless to the engine but as they said above can cause accelerated wear and tear of used all the time.

I have 5 Gallons in Las Colinas, TX if you need some or want to try. I'd cut you a good deal compared to the $20 a bottle (32oz)

Any issues you saw with prolonged use... all of a sudden I am not getting more than 8psi of boost and normally I am around 27psi with my tune and all the mods + OCTANE BOOSTER!!!!!

Never had any issues.

If you have an exhaust system, did you check the hoses and see if it's closed off? I remember when it came undone, I lost boost. Was sitting close to where you're at.

Really, that is super weird because I am fully straight piped and have the muffler delete and I saw on the driver side rear where the stock valves would sit there looks to be a little nipple where a vacuum hose would go but I am not sure what it would connect to considering my after market fabspeed ones did not come with anything and I would think that it would have happened shortly after install, but it drove for several thousand miles.

have you tried flashing your car back to stock and running it to see if your issues are still happening? You may have pushed something passed its limit with your setup.

No I have not done that... for my car it is not a flash and they are very non-agressive tunes, especially at first and I worked my way up to the higher maps and still have not even explored any changes and any real adjustments to the numbers, timing, etc... it is much more involved to remove the tune as it is plugged into the BCM connections and MAF sensors and then back to my OBDII port... maybe I should try that...
