Holy ******* ShitBalls my car is fast when you start out in second gear. I am also over boosting like a ************ in lower gears. I hit 180-190kpa in 5th and 6th, but over boost to 215kpa in 3rd. I get 180kpa around 3600rpms with VVT disabled.

My wastegate signal is 9/32 I believe. I currently just have it going to a bottom port and have the upper port unplugged according to the Tial directions.
Could be, I am not sure. I will hopefully be enabling VVT soon. I also want to get my EBC setup and see if that helps control over boost.
I also need to play with VSS some more. It did not seem to be working.

I am not overly concerned about the over boost right now, mostly because I am just enjoying the car and I know it can handle it fine.

shiend.... try adding the nipple for the top port to another bottom port with the top unloaded... so 2 lines to the bottom and none to the top.
see if that helps....
i never had overshoot problems with my MS-V

I lied about topping out at 180kpaish in 5th gear. I definitely hit 210kpa if I hold it to redline. I get 180kpa by 3600rpm always, then at 5200rpm I am at about 200kpa.
I think I am going to try some different springs tomorrow and see what happens.

I am actually very happy with the spool how it is so far. I also know when I enable VVT that it should spool even quicker then.

Hmm I am actually seeing better spool than that.
If you are running really conservative timing though, that would explain why. I messed around with reducing timing to get better spool and I failed.
Also in my WG spring swappage experience, I hit 9, 15, 17, and 20psi all at about the same RPM. The spring doesn't snap open; it gradually opens up.
That **** was all kind of irrelevant but I came here just now looking for spool data...

I have been daily driving the car for the past 2 weeks. It has been going strong with no major issues. I have decided that I hate TurboTim though. I have not gotten better then 20mpg since installing the the new setup. I tend to boost to much.
With VVT and EBC hooked up I can hit 225kpa at about 3750rpms.
I also built myself a new heat shield. There is a good reason that I pay people to fabricate things for me instead of doing it myself. **** I make looks like ****.
