Car finally got tuned

Its been two years so far in the build since i blew my motor, It came along way while it was down. From the body work to the motor and turbo work, ne ways. I went and saw dave at KDR this past sat we manged to put down 396hp at 13lbs of boost, motor is halfbridged running a single gt35r. i wanted to go to 15 16ish lbs of boost but my wastegate spring needs to be upgraded.

I put it together. Depends on the size and type of your wastgate. I run a 48mm turbosmart. I was runnin a 7psi spring in mine with a profec b boost controller. The spring maxed out at 13 for me so im gonna put in a 10 lbs spring to reach my target boost.

Thats decent hp for 13 lbs of boost. What kind of torque did you get?

Is it strange that the hp seems low for a half-bridge?

I assumed not fully tuned to max since he was limited. Post the dyno sheet!

Since when is ~400 at only 13 psi low ?

Dave's dyno has always been a bit optimistic over the years if anything.

a 10 psi spring is a good choice if you have no plans to run more than 20ish psi.

Ill try posting the sheets when im near a potocopyier or a camera to take a pic. I put down 291 ft pounds of torque. Yes he did do a complete tune. we started at 7lbs and it was generating 378. I believe he said that he estimated after 10lbs of boost i was makin close to 25ish hp per pound. Im no were near maxing out this turbo though. I want to shoot for 450 to the rear so the 10 psi spring is goona do it with the controller. Btw Dave has an amazing shop highly reccomend him if you cant figure a problem out with your car very great people there.
