how to get better spool

[96eclipse09]

ok here is my setup, i have a greddy fmic, 2 1/2 inch piping, hks bov. and a big 16g evo turbo....my spool is slow. i was wondering if there was a way to get faster spool up so and quicker response. on top of that it makes it where my bov wont go off unless i really get in it and that shouldnt be like that. if anyone could help that would be awesome

When exactly do you start getting into boost? 16g turbos are known to be great spooling turbos, so unless you just moved up from something reallllllly small, I would suspect you have a problem elsewhere. Do a boost leak test, could be that you have a plethora of minor leaks that are making the car sluggish.

i see your profile says you have a 3" exhaust but do you have an aftermarket down pipe?
a larger downpipe will speed up spool time but it, depending on what size, will sometimes cause boot creep especially if you go with a 3" dp... i am running a big 16g with a 3" turbo back and mine spools up pretty quick, but i had to do the mrpeepers mod to my wastegate to eliminate boost creep.

the mrpeepers mod is where you modify the wastegate to open all the way instead of just a 1/4 of the way
