Default how in the hell do u measure spool time...

okay u guys just drop it in first and WOT and see when u hit full boost rite?...when i do this rpms climb hella fast and tires break loose and i cant figure when im hitting full boost(9psi)...by the time i look at the rpm, when i see full boost on the gauge, its already up to like 6,000rpm or something...its like a split second and its redline...ive read on here that t3/t4 spool average range about 3500 to 4500...im running the 54trim(dont know what a/r)...also running the type r tranny thats why rpm jumps so fast...the car accelerates pretty good...im pretty sure i dont have any boost leak(hopefully), i tripled check everything...this is my first setup...and ideas and opinions?

but wouldnt it be different because the load is different in each gear?

well most people i know don't messure full boost in 1st gear as alot of people with big turbo's and high boost cant reach full boost in 1st unless on a 2step.

have a buddy watch the boost gauge and holla at you when it reaches full boost. You watch the rpm gauge and when he yells, there ya go!!
