My spool at the moment is awful and I have a garrett actuator waiting for me at my house to see if that helps but if not it seems that either I put a restrictor in my intake/exhaust or go ewg. Thanks for your guys input!

Restrictor in your intake/exhaust?? Whattt??????

What size is your exhaust.

You're running a GT2560 and you made 241hp at 9.75psi?
Is that at the wheels???
With a cast manifold????

Todd don't worship the numbers. That dyno just prob reads a bit high.

Pdexta and i be all over the boost leaks muthrfukka. I concur. You have a boost leak. Yes, boost leaks affect spooge. I mean spool.

Yea I guess there could possibly be a boost leak but I doubt that. I'm almost sure its the actuator. And it's an Enthuza 3" exhaust. Btw the dyno seemed to be reading average when looking at all the other cars there. 2010 Camaro ss with i/e and tune made 340. Mazdaspeed with s4 upgrade made I think 280 at 18psi and a stock nb miata made 112 or so. Looking for a junkyard 1.8 at the moment to build up and maybe a six speed in my near future so I can run allofit.
