I just installed a used small 16g, FP race manifold, and 7" FMIC yesterday and now she won't build boost. I did a BLT and couldn't hear anything but the air going through the turbo (I can't even remember if this is normal). When I took her for a drive she stumbled at about 7-8psi. Felt very laggy. I disconnected my MBC and ran fine at about 5psi, but wouldn't go past that. I reconnected the stock MBC and I get the same thing,only going to 5psi. Feels restricted. Is the 16g compatible with a 2g bcs, meant for a T25? Does my MBC need major adjustment after switching turbos?
The turbo had very little shaft play, I ported the WG hole a little, new gaskets and bolts, SS feed line, reused T25 water lines and drain line (no leaks yet).
This is my first MHI small 16g and it seems very laggy compared to the old T25. I don't think it's spooling as quickly as it should.
