You are talking to yourself, but many of us appreciate. If only you had your own dyno to give us the intel on what component provides what power! I went with the XC60 FMIC, Mototec dp, and was thinking about the hybrid, but I'm starting to feel diminishing returns with P*. I'm hoping if I drop a stage 2+ tune in, I'll grab another 25 hp at the engine, but it sounds like a stretch. 300/300 works for me.

I like the idea of more braking power and 12 pounds less weight up front, too!

Yeah... Just too much time and money to bother putting it on a dyno after each individual part. Especially when I'm "done" with this car and don't care to spend more on it.
Without a remap, I've heard people gaining 5-10whp with the turbine wheel upgrade. With a tune, the ST225 Focus guys are seeing 20-30whp, but my expectations are pretty low for this.

A well written aftermarket tune will definitely show better results than what you're getting with Polestar. P* adapts pretty well to upgraded parts, but it's still only designed to optimize the stock parts. Especially with the FMIC and DP, you should be holding boost around 16-18psi. The few bolt-on build P* tuned cars that I have driven were noticeably slower, you could tell they had a lot of untapped potential.

OBD Fusion says 20 psi. ;^) High ambient temperatures kills power, though. I'd kind of rather fool myself and even it out, say 17 psi at 60F ambient and 20 psi at 90F, for example. Not sure how that math works.
