B16 turbo having trouble boosting up.
So I have a built b16 turbo. I just installed a brand new garrett .60ar turbo. The turbo won't hit full boost until 5500 rpm. I thought that seemed high and started thinking how to spool faster. I am using 2.5 inch intercooler piping hot side and 3 inch cold side. I also am running a tial wastegate and thought that the diaphram might be ripped or something. Idk would like a few opinions.

Re: B16 turbo having trouble boosting up.
I checked for leaks already. I am having new 2.5 inch piping made on hot and cold side. It will also be one piece so I will only need 1 coupler on turbo, 2 on intercooler, and 1 on tb. I am now running 9psi but will soon be boosting up to 14.7 as soon as I get a tune scheduled.
