i am going to do more mods to the car and see if that improves the bottom end,

remember i still have a STOCK cat-back exhaust, and i just found out that the gasket between the HEAD and the Manifold is blown. so maybe after fixing it the bottom end with improve.

right now the car is in storage, so not i'm goin anything for now.

For sure. If your exhaust gasket is blown, that will kill your boost/spool time. Stock exhaust will do the same thing. WTF were you thinking?

if you got a .48 a/r turbine housing instead of a .63, it would certainly keep boost for your powerband and spool a hell of a lot quicker, especially with the .60 a/r compressor.

what trim wheels are you running?

YESSS, i fixed the problem guys, it was the exhaust manifold gasket all alone why my car wasn't running good.

after reading on this topic that the blown gasket delays spool time, i went to the storage and took it to my friends shop and installed a copper gasket. the old GASKET WAS COMPLETE BLOWN, A PART OF IT WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN OFF (BIG *** GAP IN THE #4 RUNNER HOLE).

now the car starts to spool at 3500rpm and pulls all the wat to redline


anyways i got to go now, i am still working on it...(changing the wastegate's gasket)

later

*WILL POST PICTURES IN MY OLD THREAD IN THE Forced Iunduction FOURM today or tomor
