Turbo spooling 1500 RPM late.
Today I noticed that I'm hitting full boost about 1500 RPM later than usual. Here's what I have:
T-78, HKS 40mm wastegate, Greddy profec. I'm going to check it out later, but I figured I would try to get some input anyway. Thanks.

It's possible that my wastegate could be open a little bit, and maybe that's where I hear the small leak. I'll just get under the car while it's running to see if any exhaust is coming from the wastegate.
