we boost leak tested an fixed them all...i had a small leak at the turbo that i cant fix an im not too worried about since im goin evoIII b16g in a little. but it seems like my car pulls harder at 5-7 psi than it does at 12 (max set) do you think this is just because of the leak at the turbo or just the turbo being shot...its the stock 14b with some shaftplay. im just seein if there is something i should check other than boost leaks. thanks in advanced. i've kinda been less impressed since when i get on it itll be at 12psi but just kinda sit there...an once i back down a little from boost it pulls harder.
 
How about I loan you my logger and you make some pulls and see what it does. Sounds like it might have a little knock. I know timing is good and fuel should be fine so if it is seeing knock, it will pull timing and make it feel like a turd. I can also swap my knock sensor in and see if that helps. I know it had some when we took it for a ride but it also had too many other problems to worry about it at the time.
