That's pretty normal for an r32 stock turbo, especially without a boostcontroller (just using the stock actuator alone). If you have a look in the forced induction section, people have posted responses on how to solve this problem.

Personally, i'm using the jaycar iebc. It has allowed me to sustain 10-11psi all the way to the redline, and build boost much quicker too.

Mine doesnt drop off... then again it doesnt reall come on till 5,000 (HKS 2535) :)

Its just because its the standard turbo. Nothing to worry about i have driven many a standard R32 and theyr all the same.

A full exhast system with dump and hi flow cat give a bit more in the top end.

my 32 done the same. i had cat back exhaust at first. i finished it off with a turbo back system and defo felt more gains, esp midrange to top end. still same boost though.

then put a fmic on. at first it *still* dropped the boost. but now, for whatever reason, it holds a steady 12psi...

no controller or anything.

i think its just normal. many posts on here saying that drop boost (even me! :D)

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
