Finally posting to the group here after 3 weeks of troubleshooting to no avail.
Had an ATP Gen 2 GTX2860R kit installed on 3/25 including the Tial 16 lb waste gate actuator and an airtec tubular manifold. I was up and running by 3/31 but only making ~10 lbs of boost on base map versus the 16 lb spring. It's hitting this peak value around 4k and falling to ~9 lbs by 6500 rpm.
Troublshooting completed:
- Pre-loaded waste gate correctly to 4mm per Adam at Tuneplus. Increased boost from ~10 lbs to ~12 lbs.
- Located two small boost leaks. No gain.
- Removed turbo and manifold, installed ATP provided waste gate. Peaking at ~ 9.5 lbs and dropping to ~8 lbs by 6500 rpm. No evidence of pre-turbo exhaust leak found.
Going to try to spin the turbine by hand and see if there's potential turbo issue. Other than a major boost leak that I didn't find (possible, given I suck at finding them) what other thoughts do you guys have?
Only variables seemingly left are bad manifold and bad turbo. In the next few days I'll pull the manifold and run the 2860 with stock manifold to see what happens. Depending on result I'll run the stock turbo on the airtec manifold to see what that does.
Log attached with the 16 lb Tial WGA. Doesn't boost as early as it seemingly should given other's dynos with the same turbo and sure doesn't hit or hold the boost it should.
