On the road finally. Turbo rebuilt, test run easy on the pedal.
Rebuilt the BNR with new parts from G-Popshop. First run was around half throttle open turbo/screamer pipe.
After that I MIG welded a test pipe/cat delete and turned down the boost to 8psi until the Rtek arrives. I might go with 720's rather than 1200cc injectors and bump the fuel pressure up, so 1200's might be a bit high for what I am shooting for.. Only looking for a conservative 300whp.
Here is the DP/TP. 2.5"
8psi roll to 60ish.

True. I'm not worried at all about popping the motor. Timing is pulled to -10 BTDC and 8PSI is lower than stock boost level. The engine has 5k on it. So for now easy driving other than those videos above. But progress has been made 
S4 stock boost is 5.5psi
S5 is 7.5 psi
Fuel cut iirc is at 8.5 psi?

The max boost numbers are as I posted above, both taken straight from the FSM. I have corrected this misinformation dozens of times, but the same mythical numbers keep getting reposted. 
And like I just said, they have the same wastegate actuator. The S5's higher boost is from the stock electronic boost control.
