if you look at FMs default map for a 1.6L turbo, you can see what I mean. This is the area I wanted to play with last weekend on the dyno....

So i went and made changes to my timing map. see the before and after below and then look at the before and after spool improvement. In summary, nothing... any thoughts or theories?

I think the only thing to fix is this:

hollow stock cat and 2.25" racing beat exhaust.
I have a similar exhaust and similar spool numbers. OP has an EBC already.

I think the exhaust is enough of a restriction. You'll probably see a larger gain than I will from a good exhaust setup.

Sorry I'm late to this party. I'm running the SR20det T25, BegiSS dg downpipe, 2.5" test pipe, 2.25" Borlas. My spool looks exactly like yours comp.

The spoolup data in the above compilation is a 2nd gear pull. Here's the data with my 4th gear data added/

Great thread! Here is another one to add. I just hooked up my EBC today and am still tuning it so there is some overshoot and oscillation. The target boost is about 7.5 psi. This is a 4th gear pull on a hot 102 deg F day.

Setup
GT2560
BEGI cast manifold
BEGI stainless DP
2.5" exhaust: hi-flow metallic cat, straight through resonator, straight through muffler, all magnaflow
MS open loop boost control
GM boost solenoid
RPM Boost (psi)
2136 0.44
2378 3.53
2521 4.56
2864 6.91
3091 8.53
3184 9.11
3445 7.2
3694 8.09
3989 7.35
4294 7.64
4472 8.09

Here is a chart. Paul's spool is, well, absurd. Sav's looks great. Looks like mine is pretty good. I need to get that new clutch in so I can turn up the boost. The stock clutch is slipping fo sho.
