Boost don't come till around 3.5-4k
Is this normal cause I've been reading that other people started spooling at like 2-3k. Now this is what you call lag. Feels like vtec area that it's coming in at. I'm using a wrx turbo and 2.25 piping for exhaust(yeah I know...)dsm side mount with 1.75 to 2" piping for charge piping. What gives?

Re:Boost don't come till around 3.5-4k
Any idea of the specs of that turbo? Like what size AR it is and what size turbone your running?
|
Re:Boost don't come till around 3.5-4k
tha damn charge pipes are too big, go with what is off of the turbo, and put the wastegate hose right before the throttle body.

Re:Boost don't come till around 3.5-4k
2 inches is not too big for charge piping...now are you saying you have no boost at all until 3.5k?

Re:Boost don't come till around 3.5-4k
errr, I think you want the wastegate line somewhere AFTER the throttlebody... ie the intake manifold, fuel pressure regulator line. etc.

No its not the same. You NEED to take the vaccum source from the manifold, its a stronger vaccum source. |

I took my wastegate boost right off the partial charge pipe that's on the turbo.

Yeah some wastegates are setup for this and thats perfectly fine, however the best vaccum source is the manifold. IMO |

WG needs vacuum?
I know it reads boost, but vac? |
Re:Boost don't come till around 3.5-4k
well thats great that your boostin at 4k. i dont hit boost until 5k but when it hits deeaam! ;)

Lag = Traction Control

The WG actuator doesnt need vacuum, but I agree with Whitey the best place for Boost/Vac source for the wastegate is the intake manifold. Most turbos are designed to use the little nipple off the compressor housing, but where is the first place boost is going to build up? obviously right there. When going to the intake manifold it makes the turbo spool a bit faster since it takes longer for pressure to build up in the intake mani rather then compressor housing.
