if you made that much, it is probably not the turbo. how about some details on the engine? compression, size, cams, etc. are you sure the engine is healthy?

Thats not making power? I mean it can be off, but it can be anything. Type of Cam you're using. Bore size of motor? Motor old? Motor choking at (exhaust?), Size of downpipe?

well maybe I have a problem as well then, lol, my car made about the same as his with a s372r on a dyno dynamics, motor is new to the season, was told its the heart breaker and reads that low. But this is my first year in the turbo game as well.

I have a car like this as well on 36 psi the car will only make 709Whp.

1.8l ls/vtec on s300 with crane cams.

Not sure what it is but the car was taken to another tuner and we got the same results.
