Spool.... It's good I guess, I have no complaints or anything to compare it to.
I'm now in the market for a new catch can, the filter on my Endyn got saturated. Likely from lack of baffles.

Response is good, but that's more attributed to the compression and intake manifold.
The 5858 isn't a small turbo, there are more responsive choices.... Again it's hard for me to compare, it's nothing like the JRSC that was on the engine previously. I suspect the turbo would be effective to approximately 550WHP on my car, if your looking to make less a smaller turbo would be a better choice, IF you have an efficient set-up.

Omg. I hope my power band is like that! Hp and tq are still climbing! Im hoping i get mine tuned this weekend. Hell of a build you have there sir! Now just add a few psi and go for 500+
nice solid build. car sounds nice also. what cams did you end up using? and what motor mounts(hope this isnt a dumb question) are you using? motor looks stiff. thanks
Dan,
Post the boost plot. It looks like you have a bit of boost creep. I remember d-rob saying he had some trouble with the boost control software in ectune. I wonder if you would have the same results with neptune.

I agree, just being overly cautious maybe but stock sleeves are at about their limit. I have been revving to 8600 on the street. Had a pathetic trip to the track and desperately need to switch up my gearing. Tops out ~118 in 4th.

Now thinking back, it's not boost creep at all. We set the solenoid to fixed duty and that would naturally allow the boost to rise with RPM.
Ahh, that definitely explains it, especially with the ramhorn manifold. That particular one is known to flow very well.
