1. even though im tuned at 9lb of boost, sometime i see over 9 lb,such as 9.4, 9.8, or even 10.0 something. is that completely safe???

Wouldn't say completely safe, but hopefully your tune is decent enough to handle it

2. Tig488 - i love the boost controler, thanks alot, and also love the plenum, i got painted flatblack..

3) a buddy of mine was traveling behind me, and i had gunned it on 3rd gear, and closer to redline i switched, next thing you know when i switched to 4th gear, big pluck flame came out the exhaust..
what happen their??

I'd be thrilled to have "only" 360whp right now

I wouldn't put money into a damper for this issue as I doubt it would help at all. I would get your car up in the air and check clearences around the turbo, more specifically the heatshield that wraps the Y-pipe feed to the turbo. Extra attention is needed in shaping the shielding during install and is more than likely causing the noise
