I recently put on a new 20g turbo from JusMX with a FP manifold. I've done numerous boost leaks and what I found i fixed. Still get slow spool. I've also checked for exhaust leaks and found nothing pre/post turbo. I'm only running ~ 20 psi due to running a OEM untouched 1g BOV.
I've noticed my intake temps are way hotter with this setup compared to my previous turbo setup (turbonetics 50 trim with tnetics exhaust mani). I'm sure the 90 degree day and humid weather didn't help when I decided to mess with the car over the holiday weekend. I'm seeing peak boost at ~ 4.5K RPM give or take. It's slow. Turbo feels non existent. I did my latest BLT this past Sunday. However disconnecting my air hose from the tester I lose all pressurized air in matters of seconds. I thought it should slowly leak out. 23psi to 0 in 5 secons or less. I also checked my timing and I'm at 5*. I'm not reading any knock from what I remember from my 3rd gear pull. For the sake of checking I felt around for my knock sensor and I do not feel any goo/gunk on my knock sensor.
I'm thinking I can try to advance timing with my CAS and timing light. Or else adjust my DA table. My plugs are new BRE7ES gapped at .23. My wires are rather old though. Also plan on wrapping my FP manifold since I have some DEI exhaust wrap laying around until I can properly coat it or find a blanket.
I don't have my laptop at work but I will crop it and post my latest log tonight.
