t3 low boost 1st gear
.60/.63 standard t3
I've changed the comrpessor housing from a Ford to a Nissan style, I'd think that wouldn't impact anything as long as they both share the same compressor wheel...
Anyway, I'm getting 6-7psi in 1st, 2nd 8psi, and reaching full 10-12 psi by 3rd... MBC is pretty crankied down...
Does this indicate that I'm not moving enough air on the hot side, need to clamp down to .48/.60?

it's possible that your engine is not developping enough load in 1st and 2nd to hit it's full boost but a small exhaust leak at the wastegate can also cause such symptoms.
Yes, 0.48 a/r could definitely help reaching full boost in 1st and 2nd gear because it does spool up faster.
