I'm starting to think so too, and the Throttle body being too small...especially seeing how his HP drops...that should stay climbing. Sav's running the stock '94 intake/tb right? EDIT: sorry I see on his pics it's a newer head. Hmmmm....how do dynapack #'s compare to dynojet #'s?

did you test the vics closed to at least see if you were giving away low end for free?

Matt,
Variable intake geometry is where it's at. Ok, so the stocker's are restrictive being designed for 35 hp/cyl not 80...
Absolutely, there's a flow issue. One could certainly buy 3 more MAP sensors, put one on each side of the intercooler, each side of the throttle... I guess you don't even need that, just some jars filled with water like a El Cheapo carb balancer... You should be able to pick out where your losses are.
Obviously you could machine out your TB or just put a mustang one on as a place to start. If you don't see a big improvement you're barking up the wrong tree.
The obvious other place to look is head work - that's what the non-turbo world does when they want more flow. Certainly my car was a lot stronger with it than without.

If one has an intake manifold with a mustang TB flange, it should be very simple to make an adapter plate to bolt on a factory TB to see what harm that makes. It would have to be done at the dyno day, cause no one is going to pay for a dyno session to see what the loss is going to a smaller TB.

I think Travis was talking about it on a m.t thread which I did not subscribe to, lost it. Anyway, the idea would be to raise the boost level at higher RPMs to offset the torque loss due to high-RPM flow losses, and flatten out the torque curve. With an EBC (and enough turbo overhead) this is pretty easy to do. I had been wondering about this approach myself a few months ago.
