Stainless Manifolds???

Hmmmmmm, what ECU are you using? Personally I would be looking at advancing the ignition timing some, as that is the first place I go for better response. Maybe some tuning of the exhaust camshaft timing woiuld help as well.

Premature wastegate opening would be my next port of call. Try setting the boost threshold at 2 bar, and testing the boost build then. That will tell you if the boost bypass isn't large enough through the EBC. If that turns out to be the case I would try a Norgren pressure limiting valve before the EBC. Or upgrade to a Jaycar IEBC, they ensure absolutely no premature wastegate opening because the solenoid is in series to the wastegate actuator. The HKS EBC (like most others) has its solenoid parrallel to the wastegate actuator.

Hope that is of some help

Cheers, yeah I currently have the HKS EVC3 fitted that came with the car, I will be fitting my AVC-R (on the shelf form last car) in a month or two, the AVC-R will definitely be in series with the actuators. In terms of the other items, the cams are coming out in favour of Tomei Hi Lift PROCAM's 260deg 10.85mm so I am hoping that the extra lift will enable a lot better torque and flow in the lower RPM's.

ECU is a Power FC, my tuner did mention that they are boosting a little late, even for 2530's.. Cheers for the ideas..

I looked at the piping kits as well, but i don't need the full kit, as i have M's pods and Greddy hard piping kit.

DANOOH Any chance of some photos of the hard piping kit in your installation, my fear at the moment with the HKS pipes is that I won't be able to easily fit my Z32 AFM's to them (which I know I can with the GReddy setup) and that my filters won't fit.. Some pics of different installations helps me to visualise better.. Cheers if you could. Also what AFM's are you running??
