I own a 98 eclipse gsx 5 speed. It has a built 7 bolt revised motor. It also has 272 bc cams, a thermal r&d exhaust, no cat and megan downpipe. The turbo i have in it is a older style pte 5252re td housing which i was told was a real pte by few people but no where does it say pte. I was told it was made when gerrett and pte shared parts or something like that. I also have a tial qr, dsm link v3 full, rc 1000cc injectors, internal wastegate on the turbo, evo 3 or what i was told evo gt ported exhaust manifold, stock intake manifold and 3.5" vrsf fmic. Soon i will be upgrading to a pte 6466 t3 ball bearing and a bigger t3 exhaust manifold with wastegate not sure which one but maybe a $800+ stm one, 44mm wastegate, duel fuel pumps and a jm fab or magnus intake manifold. Right now i am not sure what my turbo is because like i said it says 5252re on it but no where does it says pte on it. Right under 5252re it says 300-5253 and if im correct on pte's website a 300-5253 is not a 5252 and a 5252 is a 5252e not re. No where does a 5252re come up on google except for my other posts. Anyways its at around 350hp only because i have a stock 2g trans still. Once i upgrade to a 6466, 2000cc or 2150cc injectors, build my tans, tune my car,go to 40psi boost, upgrade my exhaust/intake manifolds and go e85 i plan to be around 750-800hp.
But for now the way i am i am set at 19psi. I know i am not pushing over 350 hp but then again i am not stock hp. I am are cars are dsms but why cant i hear my turbo spool at all? What do i need to do to make that happen? My car is kind of quick for 350 but it takes for ever to get up there to the 19psi boost. I mean im happy for it to have 19psi boost but i wast told my turbo doesnt have a quick spool and this was my builder. He said he has down few cars with same turbos like mine and they had lag. Is there a reason why i have lag and why I cant hear my turbo. I mean i can hear my cams and exhaust but then again i have heard nice sounding dsms. Like i have one of the best exhaust and nothing. I will post few videos 1 of my car before i went to dsmlink v3 with 2 step. Not the best video as this was taken with my old phone and also it had an srs exhaust system with the cams on it and i feel like the srs exhaust sounds like the thermal exhaust still which i thought it would sound nicer. The second video is of a gst with the thermal r&d exhaust and it sound great. I know there is many other videos out there but this one the thermal sounds perfect imo. Third video of a dsm spooling. Not the best video but it does sound good for the most part

The pictures of the turbos are of the turbo i have.
Thanks in advance for the help
