After 5psi car stops accelerating?
Well the car is untuned. SAFC + dsm 450's walbro 255lph pump, btm, d16y7. Anyway I have the btm set at 1deg retard per lb and settings go 1k -38 2k -38 3k -37 4k -36 5k -36 5.5 -36 6k -35 6.5k -35. This is pretty rich but I'm just being safe until I get tuned next week. Im guessing its probably because of timing going way down when the higher boost comes in and the rich settings up top. Just wanna make sure I shouldnt change anything before I get tuned though. So if anyone has any replies let me know. The plugs are all black with some tan marks/lines. And cyl1 is black, little bit white on the top of the porceline and gray on the top of the electrode. Thanks.

hrm.. I just realized my BOV might be a little loose. If it was leaking some boost why would the gauge still read 8psi.

Yeah it probably is one of those. Your settings look like they're a little rich as well.
What size turbo and what are the specs?

its a 14b.. Probably fuel and timing. But the bov sucks. Gotta remount it tomorrow. The RFL is really goofy with those allen keys.

you have an internal wastegate?check it to make sure its tight,or adjusted correctly,i had the same thing going on with mine,i have an adjustable wastegate.i took the slack out and now its alot better.

Not sure what theyre gapped at they're BKR7ES-11. I think the wastegate is ok. Its internal but before I put it on I made sure the flapper came real tight. I'll check that too. The boost gauge is still reading the 8psi of boost though. So that would mean it isnt opening early right?

Re: After 5psi car stops accelerating? (SOFLSOL)
how early does it spool,if it spools late then it could be the flapper too loose or a boost leak.is your wastegate adjustable or not?
