If so, what springs are you running in the wastegates? That is what boost you should be seeing, atleast in the honda turbo world its that way. Correct me if im wrong.
hes talking about two different things

1 being the tune. He odered a online tune for the car. Its the first tune they made for a turbo kit with the comp "thumper"cams. So im sure there isnt much timing and a very rich fuel curve to keep it VERY safe


2 is boost. its a 76mm with a .96 a/r and he has 4.10 gears. So the gearing is not loading the motor up good enough and is killing spool time. So soon as it builds boost up he has to shift, so hes probably not seeing much boost in 1st and 2nd. There is no boost controller it is running off just the wastegate(8psi).
