i put my tune on. it will only boost to 19 psi. not the 23 i asked for but vince said its prob skewed fuel trims so i need to log it after i get off work later and send it to him

I find it funny that you say only 19psi. I mean, if you're supposed to be hitting 23psi then I understand the reference of the word "only". That's alot of boost to me. lol I'm not sure what the stock turbo size is on the SS/TC but I'm sure 23psi on a 2.0L is well outside of it's efficiency range/turbo map. My disco potato runs out of it's efficiency with the 2.0L at about 320whp or apx. 16psi. I've seen people make 360whp at 20psi on a 28RS disco potato but the EGTs and IATs are a good bit higher.

Yeah, it appears it spikes and looses a good bit on the top end. That's from the stock turbo having to turn too fast in high rpm and gets heat soaked. That's one thing that I don't have to worry about. I only made 215wtq but it's pretty flat and the hp curve is especially flat for a turbo'd car.

oh i never said it wouldn't get hot thats why we cant no lift shift after tuning. we will melt our piston rings. if there was a better cooling mod for our turbos i'd be first in line
