I am changing my wastegate spring to a 7.25 to hold more boost it bleeds down under 15 psi. Tom will tell ya'll my numbers as soon as I get it it should be in 3 hours from now. Wish me luck

ooooh, was I supposed to post something? He has like an hour drive home.
I was on the phone as the runs were going but I don't have the dyno sheets of course so I can only approximate for him.

See, you guys aren't playing the game with me. lol You're supposed to guess, it builds the suspense more. Then we unload.
Actually I talked to him and he says he'll post it when he gets home.
But just to whet your appetite,
He made more power than I did. How much more though???

There were some problems with the boost remaining consistent. He put in the 7lb spring in the wastegate to keep it closed under heavy boost and that helped, but it seem he also needs a load on the car before it will hit its maximum.
On the dyno with his video he was spiking up and holding 15psi then it was dropping off towards 13psi.
All the dyno measurements were on pump gas, regular street trim right after he rolled in off the street.
It seems when he's on the highway it can hit up to 17psi.

I don't think so. He has some checking to do before he goes back and then probably needs a better boost controller than that needle valve.
