You'll also note that the top end is only running 10psi. The boost drop off in the top end is common with standard turbochargers when pushed hard and can be overcome with a better boost controller.

Seems like an EBC is the way to go.

are we straying off topic?

maybe?

nah...not us

I saw all the extra replies thinking "Awesome. Topic has really kicked off" But nope, I was wrong lol

BTW, Happy Bday Dr DiRT!!! :(

Cheers guys.

whats the difference again?

w e l l o n e s g o t a p r e t t y d a r k g r e e n b a r u n d e r t h e i r a v a t a r w i t h t h e w o r d "a d m i n i s t r a t o r" w r i t t e n i n i t a n d t h e o t h e r o n e i s l i g h t g r e e n a n d h a s t h e w o r d "m o d e r a t o r" w r i t t e n i n i t.

but both mean the same as they are a clear sign of homosexual tendencies. :(

what's funny is how many people would actually believe him and fork out cash only for him to fit it and wind some timing into it and get a better result...He's happy he's got his cash and the customer is happy but none the wiser of his easy earnings.

yup ping is power.... obviously.

I'm sorry. Forgiveness PLEASE!!! :(

It's not your fault, mate. At the risk of sounding on-topic, your car is making the right horsepower for the mods you've got but there are two things you need to do to make it a much, much better/faster/more pleasant car to drive.

Step 1/ Sack your bleed boost controller and go buy a Turbosmart Eboost II

Step 2/ Sack your tuner. They may be competent but they're completely full of shit.

A quality EBC will bring the boost on early and keep it there.

A quality tuner will make sure your engine lives once you do the above.

Good luck, mate.

Thanks 2rismo!!

I'll look into an eBoost II once the funds permit me to. As for the tuner, I'll have a chat with him about getting those AFRs and see where I go from there.

Cheers again mate.

Now, back to the off-topic war...

ADMINISTRATORS vs MODERATORS: Battle of the homosexuals In Green :(

Although my power curve is more agressive then this. Maybe my turbo has been high flowed?

Mate all you have to do is press a button and change the scale to look a bit more agressive, look at the RPM and power to compare.

yes Ping is Power according to some.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
