That turbo is just to small if your looking to make any serious power. I gained 27whp alone by just switching to a t3t4OE .57 trim .63 a/r. Then worked on the tune a little more and got up to 248whp @9psi.
I'm not to fond of the jrc intercoolers, they arn't the best for flow...
I would replace the cap and rotor if it looks a bit chewed up....
So are you running 7series plugs or 8 series plugs? You should be more then fine with 1 step colder (bcpr7es-11's) I've never needed anything more then that.
are you running 92 octane?
The turbo holds boost all the way to redline, and I think it's more than adequate enough for what I am trying to do.
Running 7 series plugs. I was trying to get 6 series but had no luck.
Running 91 octane, but I am at 6,000ft so that is like 93 octane at sea level.
