The current setup is ****.
It just needs some TLC and it'll be a screamer.

That dyno chart is stock baseline versus turbo. The boost profile looks pretty darn good on their facebook. haha. ends up around 11 psi up top and actually peak boost is at 6500 with 11.6.

The top two lines are HP and TQ for Jemaal's car.
The bottom two lines are HP and TQ for a different, totally stock car (user name "DuBy") on the same dyno back in March.

Yeah, it is not ideal. But it will probably get the job done.
It was a real bear to get it to read correctly and it still has some stumbles that need to be corrected.
We'll get it straight. I can force just about anything to work.

Thanks we designed the system around the turbo. We wanted to ensure that it matched the character of the engine and not peeter out up top. Before Elliot @ Turblown even started the build, the guys at A-spec Tuning helped me decide what turbo to use along with some compressor maps posted up on the forum and on Garret's website.

At some point ill put up the complete itemized list of what has been done to facillitate the turbo. I might not include prices cause it might hurt... lol

Ahh there it is. It definitely looks strong up top. What is interesting is the boost increase right around the time most of us usually have the APVs open. Curious if the APV is still set to open around 6250 rpm.

This makes me really want an external wastegate. lol

Would definitely like to see your build list when its all done.

The APV is kept closed as is the VDI.

So what kind of flow are you getting at 10psi with the APV closed?

No, not really. Though that is a valid observation.
The fact that the throttle was partly closed has more to do with it.

I suppose it was expecting too much for people to patiently wait and save the commentary until the full dyno results are posted ....

I don't feel it would be appropriate for me to comment on that here.
Perhaps you should start a thread comparing the two setups?

Curious - if the APVs were closed . Why is there a dip at 6500 ?
