Default even with 5 psi my car seems like its lagging?

my 96 civic ex t25 turbo feel like its lagging at 5 psi, i got new wires and lugs,is it because i got a fmu?i know my tranny and clutch is bad could this be it?or is it just me, peeps say its a extra 50 60 hp but i think it still lags mostly at high rpms.its also a dsm turbo,soon i will be boosting 10 psi on a chipped p28 and 450cc injectors,or im thinking about selling it and gettting a t3,

at 5 psi your making maybe 20-30 more hp if that, your running a stinkin fmu what more do you want? lack of a tune is probably making it feel laggy. if the t25 is lagging why are you gonna get something bigger? hahaha

Sounds like you are taking too much timing out. For 5lbs of boost just run your timing at the stock settings.

i think you probably have that FMU set to high of a setting like 12:1, which will put it way to rich and cause you to loose alot of power.
