Horrible 1/4 mile

If you want to get rid of boost creep, just take the turbo off the car and port the internal waste-gate. That exhaust isn't the problem seeing that free-flowing exhausts are what cause boost creep, even with that 2.5 in. part. Don't get discouraged when your times aren't as fast as you think they should be. When I first went to the track, I could barely pull 2.2 60' in my AWD and ran a 15.4@90 with the T-25. Got it down to a 14.4 with a better tune and a 1.8 60'. It's all about practice.
 
I think a lot of it is practice since I ran a 15.6 with minor upgrades and a " weak " clutch. I know for a fact I was losing lots of time in the 0-60 because of wheel spin along with the clutch slippage and not wanting to go into gear at high rpm LOL. I know how you feel considering that I expected mid 14s and got late 15s. If I could have got my 0-60 better and had a little better reaction time I would have been faster. I also felt the 'bog" at 3k launch so I would recommend a little bit higher rpm but I cant give you an exact rpm until I perfect my own. Good luck and let me know how you run!
 
What I havent noticed is what your tuning with? ECMlink? SAFC?

Reaction time has nothing to do with ET's. The only time reaction time counts is when you are racing to win, either braket or even straight up.
 
I'm not tuning as of the moment. I wanted to set a bench mark for next season. I just wanted to see where the dsm was at so I know for myself. I was bracket racing thus the reaction time comment and should have stated as much. I'm not claiming to know it all being that was my first time at the track in the drivers seat but I feel it went well and Ill be looking to put down some better numbers next time.
