its odd... I dont want to junk up your thread with my old car's issues, lol - I dont even have it anymore, back to an NA 8 now

Still sounds like you've got a decent setup though...
I also think that the 18g is so small, there isn't enough volume coming out of the turbo to feed the engine what it wants so the boost drops and isn't stable.
