Default Horrible Lag

I have a t25, HF manifold, and a custom adaptor plate, im not spooling up til around 5K, i just port matched my adaptor plate, didnt help, i dont think i have and leaks in my charge pipes, or exhaust, i did bend the wastegate bar to run less boost, but i bent it back, its stumped me, and anyone with any ideas on why i would be getting such bad lag please clue me in, oh this is on a mini me swap.

It's either a leak or a wastegate actuator problem. A t25 should be fully spooled by like 3k. Check everything again!

Good luck!

Should keep the flapper nice and tight, otherwise the exhaust will just leak and by and bingo=lost o lag.

I'm going to venture a guess and say that pressure is leaking out the wastegate vent valve. Either that or you have pressure leaking out the interface where the manifold mates with either your cylinder head or turbo.
