Well that problem was there in the first full tune when I swapped to PowerFC from Nistune, I asked them to fix it this time, it was only a touch-up tune and 'massaging' it in this time after the exhaust fix, nothing major. Its definitely a 3-4sec major power drop with downshifting, sounds tune related aye?

Well it's a result of the ecu doing something dumb, which it determines by how it is tuned. So yes, it is tune related.

I would be cranking some more preload on the actuator. They wouldn't do it while tuning due to the heat around the manifold and turbo scaring them away, but letting it cool on the dyno to try it out would have been cheaper than another tune.

Do you have a boost controller?

If not, what spring do you have in the wastegate?

Only other thing could be the smaller turbine housing (maybe it needs a .8?), but I dont know alot about the precision turbos so I'm not even sure what size the turbo is lol. Anyway if no boost controller then that might improve it, if it alread has a boost controller then it might need some adjusting due to the change in exhaust flow

Boost drop is easily answered. Reduced back pressure in total means less restriction all the way back to the inlet and less boost required for a given amount of flow. Choke off the exhaust again and the back pressure will report back to the intake side at high revs again and Bob's your older male relative....less boost drop off at high flow.

Oh that explains it then..4psi drop is a bit much though.. Yes I have a turbosmart T controller off gate and other end connected to nipple in compressor housing, 18psi spring in wastegate so not lacking in that department. One nipple on the top of the gate is unconnected though?

Cheers-mite be my next mod- will any ebay electronic boost controller like cheap china hdi do or only apexi avcr/ greedy profec spec 2 etc? Hope touch up tune wont be required as its already tuned to 22psi- Im about sick of all this tuning which isnt leading anywhere much.. :(

Yeah better way to do it, holding boost on top and bottom then bleeding the top pressure off. Id say the boost control is the issue with the boost tapering off up top but still doesnt explain the hesitation when downshifting

How's your intake ? 3 inch all the way and free flowing as Tao from hypergear has tested at 250kw there is a difference of 13kw going from 2.5 inch intake to 3inch

Also .63 rear housing may becoming at restriction on a 6cylinder and that power level and boost

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
