Not boosting properly at wide open throttle !
Hey, i'm running the edelbrock turbo kit with the hks evc boost controller in my d16y8, I'm still in the process of adjusting the boost but for now i'm at 8 psi.
i'm having a problem when i'm at WOT, but at 75% throttle, i feel the car accelarate much more....but as soon as i go in WOT, it doesnt get any power. I checked the spark plugs, they seem fine, i sanded them a bit with a fine sandpaper, and still does the same. Could it be that there isnt enough spark feeding the plugs ??
The plugs are gapped at 0.032, could anyone help me out with this ???
thanks

25 is too low. try around 30-32 for now.
