Full boost still seems kinda late for that 14b doesn't it?

From the turbo out to the intercooler best to keep the same size as whats on the turbo.
From the IC to throtel same size as your throtel body.

how big is ur downpipe. I used to have the most ghetto downpipe and it choked up the turbo bad. I now have a 2.5incher with a cutout if desired. I can get 4psi @ 2.5 and full 9 @ a lil under 4.

What turbo though? Is that with JUST the DP or the full exhaust?

run the wastegate vac line off the intake manifold if you havnt done that yet. That tends to help you spool up 200-500 rpm faster in some turbos

didn't read all the post, but you could use smaller charge piping to get the turbo to spool a bit quicker
