yes and jez had boost issues as well but that was because of his gate.

BSA had the same gate mod and he didnt have any spool issues and his was plumbed up the same way as well.

im gonna try with a bleed valve or borrow a profec b2 off Jez if he has time, so we can try it out.

mm. well its nothing to do with them that its dropping boost.. I just wanted to know.

I dont think the issue is in the turbo either, that rear wheel and housing combo has been proven plenty with the T67s and I doubt the 20g will throw it off that much that it caps out that early.

Try get the boost to stay on I guess. Did you try running a higher duty and lower gain? IE slow spool with high target?

My issue was opposite. I had boost creep due to a small 34mm gate.

Try plumbing the boost line into the top of the gate to help hold it shut. 5minute job, other wise come grab some springs and the profec b solenoid and control unit to try

Yeah, my tuner played with the gain, it doesn't make a difference.

thanks mate, getting it back tomorrow morning so will give it a try then. the MVR springs won't work with my gate :(

Have you considered the gate mod to the manifold might be holding it back? I wonder what would happen if it was plumbed off the rear housing instead with an intact manifold.

And that is some pretty rapid spool. Will be interesting to see the final result. Don't forget Jez has the same turbo and housing.

Yeah I would be looking at the manifold/gate arrangement

dont think this would be the case Simon, Blake (BSA) had the same manifold setup (but smaller gate) on his car and it wasn't an issue

what spring are you using in your gate at 1.5 bar ?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
