I have always wondered "when" everyone say's there turbo begin's to spool are they saying full boost or what? Here is a log from last night, 4th gear pull. Please let me know. Just running on wastgate.

LOL - boost is starting when you hit positive pressure at 3333 RPM.... however that is obviously way under the efficiency range...

If you have a full scale from the time you floored it in 3rd or 4th gear at 2500rpm to the time it hits your desired boot level that would be better.

I mean if you are sitting at 3300 rpms and floor it, chances are the turbo is going to spool right up, but that is not an accurate way to tell when/where the turbo spools.. .you need to do a full pull from lower RPM.

Try this if you want to graph it....

Get into 4th gear around 2500 RPM.....FLOOR IT, take it up to around 7k RPM and then show us that data.

LOL! I know what boost is! What I am asking is to figure if turbo A is a slow spooling or fast spooling unit. If I had some of my old logs from my 40r it would help. This is on a 4094 with .95 exhhaust. Here is a 3rd gear pull from lower rpms.

To me it seems slow as it does not hit 1 bar until 5k+ rpms.

A boost controller will also yield better response... I am not a fan of running just spring pressure.

PM me and we can compare notes. It's best to leave the nitwits out of it when they have nothing to add to contribute.

From your numbers for the 4th gear pull it looks like you hit 4330 for the target (wastegate spring) boost. What worries me is that you kept boost over the spring pressure. Steady climb. You might have an issue with that. The turbo is over powering the WG. It could be a combination of WG issue or the path to the WG that the piping takes. Whose manifold is it?

Do this scenario and I'll provide a direct comparison:
3rd gear pull from 2500rpm until say, 6000rpm.
Freeway entrance ramps works nice for this.

Recent dyno session shows I hit target boost of 23 psi at 4800 rpm in 4th gear.

Road tuning shows I hit 1 bar at 4300rpm in 3rd gear....starting from 2500rpm runnning WOT. I hit 19psi that run by 4600rpm.

The mani is A-spec long runner. I have been talking with Sean as the spring should have been a .9 bar but I keep seeing 1.2 on every run. Sometimes a hair high or low. (1.18-1.22). Now the wastegate is routed back in... I will PM you a few more logs from tonight.

Okay. I posted a chart of mine in another thread.

Something is wrong. When running with boost controller off (WG only) you should not be creeping unless you have an issue with the WG or the setup. Even if the output of the WG is routed in or out, it should not creep that much. If the spring is actually .9 and you are getting around 1.2, then that supports the assumption of an issue.

Sean's a good guy. He'll take care of you.

I can tell ya that on a 4th gear redline pull I saw boost creep up to about 19 psi (12 psi spring) with my 500R/long runner mani/4in dp/tial 44mm gate. Only time I've seen creep with this setup. I also see 1 bar around 3700 rpms, give or take a bit based on ambient temps (2nd/3rd gear).

Don't make get out of bed at 12:10am and do a 4th gear pull on the WG to confirm this scenario...

Nah, have a good night. I will go over the gate again but I have run a few test per Sean and have gotten 1.2 bars every time. My other thought is the 3bar sensor. Maybe I have it set up wrong on the PFC? I have noticed my boost guage is lower than the reading on datalogic but between watching a/r's, rpm, speed, road, boost its hard. But tonight on the last pull I watched the guage in 2nd gear and it looked to be 15-16psi yet my log showed 17.5psi. Either way its higher than the .9 bar spring.

Rich, that 500r does spool very fast and I am sure the 4inch exhaust helps too.

ok, just confirmed it is the .9 (large blue) spring in gate. So now I need to make sure the 3bar is set up correct in pfc as I see 1.2bars everytime. My settings are:
PIM Option 3: scale at 45000 and offset is 150. Is that corret?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that's a 17-18psi spring.

What WG are you running? Spring pressure varies depending on the size of the gate.

yeah on my tial 40mm wastegate I have a big blue and a small yellow witch equalls 17psi (blue 12psi and yellow small 5psi). Not sure if the 44mm gate is differant.

Yes, in the Tial 44mm WG, the large blue spring is the 0.900 bar spring, which is equal to 13.053 psi.
