Get a pressure regulator and an external air source and verify the opening pressure. Till then, any speculation is a waste of time.

That, and race valves cause more trouble than they're worth without completely redoing the PIDS.

It's obvious the wastegate is cranked down and not opening. Another case of trying to tune around hardware problems.

It never ceases to amaze me that people don't verify the preload and check for interference before installation. It's so easy to do before assembly, but once the turbo(s) are/is in, it's a real PITA.

I wouldn't say it's specific to FT's, just these issues constantly pop up after aftermarket turbos are installed without checking wastegate preload or verifying the actuator can move without interference. There are 10 page threads on AZ dealing with the same thing before the people who told the OP to check the goddamn wastegates are vindicated.

The moral of this story is NEVER leave something like this to chance. Check,and recheck before attempting to tune anything.
