Still a heck of a lot better than the SC. I hated watching my boost gauge hit full boost at redline, and then immediately drop at the shift.

Can't wait until I can peg it at 3 or 4K and just watch it stay there.

I think I have full boost around 3.5K for most driving situations (when the car is working). I run a t3/t04e.

uhh.. compared to what?

The best I have seen was spooling at 1800 rpm and max at 2400 rpm, but that was a small turbo .. don't even know the size

Bags, I think there may be something up with your setup. You should definitely be seeing full boost by 3000, especially with the T3/T4. Do you have the specifics of your turbo, ie the specific trim sizes and such. Also, what are Dixits numbers here? And what trim sizes does he have? He is the one we really need to add to this because we can compare almost two identical kits, just on two different cars. You can't really ask this for the people that have Nigel's kit or custom because most of them are running T4s.

I think part of it is the turbo leaking oil still and the reverse y-ipe.

The way the front pipe comes down and into th other pipe is NOT effiecnt

if I can get some time grand will make me another pipe.. just hard to loose the car for 2-3 days

Yeah, I hear you. That is true about the reverse y-pipe. With that front pipe going straight down, you are loosing a TON of efficiency there. That whole pipe needs to have a "2-1 collector" there. If you need any help with it, just let me know....

With my t4/60-1, I start to get boost at between 3500 & 4k I'd say, Have'nt paid too much attention to it becuase I still have not had a chance to tune my car properly yet.
