Greddy Turbo Kit First Start-up
Today I have started up the RX8 for the first time after mounting the greddy turbo kit. Unfortunately it is still running on the stock maps so I was very limited on what I could actually do.
Perhaps this is going to be a non-sense post and everything is working as it should be but my concern is this; even the though it fired up immediately without major issues, it seems as if the turbo is not spooling up enough to generate any boost. As I said, without the proper maps I couldn`t rev it up but I just revved it up till 3K and it seems that the turbo wasn`t spooling at all. I also checked from underneath the car and it seems that there are not evident leaks. On the electronic boost controller, once I rev it a bit and release the throttle, boost peaks at 0.2 PSI only. I am current running catless so I would also assume that this should help for spooling.
Therefore my question is this, how much boost (if any) , would you actually see with a greddy turbo kit at 3K-4K without load (ie without any gears engaged)?

It is not that with a basemap I will not need a professional tune, but at least with a basemap I can continue to debug any mechanical issues before starting the tune. Unfortunately, there are no professional RX8 tuners on the island therefore I have to rely on a remote tuning session.
I recommend thewird, he could probably get that beast to 170WPH easy.
