Looking good so far!

Interesting about the boost control/spike. Perhaps they aren't 16psi?

Seen many turbosmart ones say "X" and varied by a good 3-4psi when on the car.

Soo surprised it comes on at almost the same time as -7 size turbos, makes twin turbos look like junk

Loaded up on a dyno -5s and -7s basically "come on" at the same RPM on a dyno interestingly enough, yet they are a good 60-70rwkw different up top.

Drive them on the street however and its a different story that you don't get on paper - been there and done it with -9 to -5 :)

It depends on the pressure and also the piston location in the manifold. Apparently Turbosmart guarantee it will hold the stated boost due to countless hours of bullshit bullshit testing. Perhaps on their test jig, not in the 'real world'.

I am interested to see what my new 26psi springs turn out to hold. Hopefully I have time for a squirt tomorrow.

Gonna have a play with it in the morning :)

Yes gate pressure, i agree 100% about the springs. But i cbf'd changing them. Just made it a bit ah touchy tuning it as i cant work up from low boost.

Ash- no extra loading on my dyno it has a set 2second preload and i start all runs at the same speed. I agree with transient boost response on the road tho. Deano and i can test the rolling starts :) -5's vs 6262

yea paul, its all standard, its even the factory fuel lines, and rail just with id2k injectors and the plugs rewired. Oh his got cam gears on it.. but thats not out of the norm.....
