no overboosting with full strait 80mm exhaust?!

well i added these mods to my car its a turbo FC from japan ( S4 )

-strait through 80mm single stainless steel exhaust w/ sebring tuning presilencer (no screens strait through also)

-Walbro fuel pump high pressure 255LPH

-BLITZ SS blow off valve

-FCD

im running stock everything besides those mods, even stock airbox! im wondering why i got no boost spike (maybe 1 psi) did the wastegates come bigger in japan or somthing?!!? im pretty happy either way!

Have an idea what your gas mileage is?

ive been running this way for about a week now, gas milage is the same (maybe a TINY bit wose but bairly noticeble it only runs rich when the BOV goes off because its venting into the atmosphere) my narrowband tells me its the near same though just a tad bit richer

no its not got the proper installation kit from BLITZ, and it wasnt overboosting before i put the BOV on (put it on 2 days after the exhaust)

aftermarket, stock one is innacurate because of the FCD, im currently using a autometer pro-comp ultralite series boost gauge

and im also running the stock ECU at the moment

Not that the stock boost gauge was accurate to begin with... FCD or Not.
