Boost control concerns

I have the '99 twins going into the rebuilt engine and have an AEM boost controller with an adaptronic ECU. Should I upgrade the stock wastegate to run a resonated mid-pipe or just run a high flow cat? Trying to minimize boost creep.

Thanks
Carl

Depends on what your goal is. If you are going for maximum power then port the WG and put on a resonated midpipe.

Looking for 325-375 hp. Going to keep the turbos Sequential. I want to make sure boost is kept in-check.

Too wide of a range, 325 can easily be done with a cat in place with basic mods, 375 requires more mods across the board.

Port your wastegate, add the resonated midpipe Downpipes & Midpipes (93+ RX-7)

We will assume Atkins used 3mm seals, since it seems they require them on turbo engines.

Add water/meth injections for safety and shoot for 400hp. Water Injection

Port the wastegate and try the resonated midpipe. Some cars will boost creep regardless. I do not advise a straight midpipe on any twin turbo car as it gets difficult to control boost. You can also install an restrictor plate in the exhaust but thats a last resort in my opinion.

Also, since you are running a boost control solenoid, make sure that you drill out the restrictor pills that are built into the outlet nipples on the primary turbo compressor housing.

Technically you need two of those solenoids for the best performance on a sequential setup, one for precontrol, one for wastegate. When only running a solenoid on the wastegate, I find that I need to play with the restrictor pill ID on the precontrol actuator to get a smooth transition.
