what do you mean you feel no power? Maybe you have issues elsewhere? Whats your whole setup? Is it dyno tuned?

You may have simply gotten used to the power you have over time. Up the boost, this isn't an N/A section

turbonectic t3t4 .63 trim
full race ramhorn
full race 3"downpipe

Well unless the victor x manifold is matched to your throttle body, your only using 65mm of the throttle body. Which to answer your question is better than a stock gsr throttle body. If you feel like your losing power, check for boost leaks.
