    Thanks for the input Rowley

    I added some timing advance down low and will be doing the "Dodge Garage" modification to my blowoff valve because I know it is bleeding off some pressure under WOT and shall see how things improve there.

      If you take a data driven approach to building/tuning your car you will be much better off.  Guessing at solutions doesn't work.  You have fantastic data logging capabilities.  You need to use them.

            Everything.  The more data available the better.   Snap - which datalogging capabilities is TCD speaking of?  How is your car setup today?

            FWIW, when I log my car (jb4 equipped) I get all possible data available via the OBD2 port.  That way I can display anything/everything I want when addressing a possible issue with the tune/car/setup/etc.

                    I have the same dimensions on my Garrett t3t4 with ball bearings (and a warranty, thanks todd:)) and I have quite a bit of lag too, boost builds around 2600 and I hit 20psi around 4300rpms. I've been thinking about going the adjustable cam gear route.

                        Well its only supposed to be 15psi but my boost controller sucks and anything over 13psi and my clutch slips anyway. Ha

                          Haha! Mine does as well so its somewhat humorous that part throttle is faster than full throttle sometimes. Id really like to check it out sometime though

                            'Part throttle is faster than full throttle' I know! I always thought there was something wrong with my turbo or something. Haha

                              I ordered a performance clutch from UUC but I'm still waiting for it to come in.

                                      Should have bought a turbo without such outdated design hehe. Gotta love Garrett. Let's bandaid our bad design with a ball bearing cartridge that can't be rebuilt!

                                        I have a friend named Garrett.

                                        You be nice.

                                          Here is the latest  in my quest to spool sooner.
                                          I modified the blowoff valve because it sounded as if it was opening a bit prematurely, that doesnt seem to be the case but it does seem to be holding more after 8psi now so that's a win. Threshold1zps96ab8a28.jpg
