I was wondering for anyone that has the bullseye to4b vtrim could you tell me what your setup is and around what rpm the turbo is spooling at. I asked this because i just recently got this turbo and i am hitting 15psi by 4,800rpm. I have a built 1g head and intake manifold with fp2cams. I already talked to dave and he suggested to check for leaks first and then tighten the wastegate spring. He also told me that this turbo is supposed to see 15-20psi by 3,500rpm. Did any of you tighten the spring as well and if so how much? Let me know thanks
 
my mods list is in my profile, I hit about 8 psi at 3k im not pushing more boost because its winter time and I have fwd ;) , I adjusted the actuator a little bit but did nothing my boost wont go up or go down so I dunno what im gonna do?! probably go external with the gate and get a brand new mbc.
 
then your around where i am then coz i hit 10psi by 3500 thats pretty close
 
u hit 10psi at 3,500 but it takes an aditional 1,300 RPM to get to 15psi.. hmmm

what size Downpipe and exhaust do u have?
u still have cats? are they clogged?

is ur exhaust manifold tightened properly? did u use new gaskets for the turbo and the manifold?

a boost leak test would also be a good idea too

I too will be purchasing one of these turbo's soon... i'd like to know if u can fix this problem and how it goes..

goodluck :thumb:
 
If you guys dont figure it out, call me. 704-575-0787. I can even meet you in halfway in St. Augustine and check it out. If there's anything wrong with the actuator or wastegate we will send you a new one.
 
my turbo spools really nice with my 2g ported manifold and ported 02 housing... my dp is stock for now, and Im about to install my 3 inch catback and then ill post some more.
 
I have a apexi downpipe with no catalitic converter. Exhaust manifold has been tightend and it has new gaskets. Tallen i was just curious and i wanted to see other peoples spool time LOL :p...If after the boost leaks it does the same thing i will go visit you dave at your shop i'll keep in touch via email :)
