1.6 T28 13psi
i picked up an already boosted NA and i need some advise. the person who i bought it knew nothing about it but, from the work it has, the person who built it knew what he was doing...
car runs well but i now know what turbo lag is... it picks up slowly then at around 4200rpm it goes into supersonic mode. hits all at once. below is a list of the parts. id like to have better response, what can i do? or is the turbo just too big?
running 13psi
-beghi log manifold
-garret t2860 (same as an S14 SR20 turbo i believe)
-e manage / rising rate fuel pressure regulator
-intercooler (looks to be 3inch)
-injectors (unknown)
-recirculator BOV
-custom 3inch exhaust
id like to have the power lower into the 3500rpm if possible. i will be going to a dyno soon to see where im at, and go from there.
any suggestions, also with my current mods where should i expect to be as far as power? i understand every car is different but, ball park?

does it have an a/f meter. I would want to know the a/f was ok at that boost level. I run 15psi on a much much smaller turbo but i have standalone fuel managment I am a newb and dont know if emanage alows injector pulse width control since you say you have fuel pressure reg that goes up with boost and that is usually but not always a way around pulse width control. I am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in but always good to know your air fuel ratio so you know nothing is going to break. With that large of a turbo 13psi will be alot with out forged rods but again I am no expert just going based on what I was told the limit was on a 1.6. safe to 200 but you hear people with 260+ on stock internals so I guess its just how brave you are.

Before you do anything else, please upload lots and lots of pictures for us. Pictures of the turbo setup, exhaust, intercooler setup, electronics, gauges, etc... and possibly video of the car idling or running.
Edit: Nevermind, you're running Emanage so no MSQ's or Logs

Your AFRs should be 11 to 12 in boost. You are doomed.
RRFPR's are horse and buggy. Get a real computer, ditch the RRFPR, get a TPS and actually tune your accel enrichments among other things.
What is the A/R of your turbine housing?

He doesn't have any of that "technology" with what he is running. He's running super lean in boost, probably detonating like a **** and has little he can do about it. He doesn't know if he is out of injector, or out of FP, or what.

Numbers are all that matter on AFRs. What your car needs in cruise and boost are on opposite ends of the continuum.
A .60 A/R turbine housing on most 2860s should spool a bit sooner than that on a 1.6, imo. Spool would be slower if you were really lean going into boost.
Do you have an o2 clamp? If you don't know what that is, you should read this.
If you sell the emanage and RRFPR for decent money you can almost afford a used MS1 (I saw one for $350 recently). This will let you get rid of the MAF, which is clogging up the air that is trying to get into the turbo and probably also hurting the spool. You will also not need to worry about an o2 clamp if you get a MS, so there is another bonus.
Remove a fuel injector and look for numbers on it's side. You can search for those numbers and color in the link I gave you above to see what you have. It will be important in figuring out your current fueling situation and where to go from here. You might even want to take a good, clear, up close picture of it while you have it out. It is easy. Just don't drop any of the three black plastic fuel rail spacers under the bolts because they can be easy to lose.
And put your location in so it shows up under your screen name. Somebody here is probably local to you and might be helpful.

News Flash: He didn't read the number off the turbine.

I think a big issue is that your using window washer line for the vaccum line to the FMU. Replace it with 3/16" iirc.
