You have the hardware right, you need an EMS and a good EMS tuner. Dynoflash is great, but you have a 500whp Turbo, so spend the extra cash and buy it. If anyone tells you it doesn't idle right or cold start up right, they don't know how to tune. I had Turbotrix tune mine, they did an awesome job. And they made 340whp uncorrected with Buschur Stage 1, I did (20) 70 second autocross runs this sunday on 93 octane, so if that's not proof, I don't know what is.

Heck, I rarely see an arm long enough to do that, even when fully extended. I'm more likely to believe that the wastegate flapper isn't seating properly against the turbine housing. Would feel just like forgetting to put in the replaceable piston seal "ring" on a Tial wastegate. I've done that before on a 2.5RS Subaru-- running a 50 trim no less. Didn't see full boost (12psi) until 5500rpm
Oh, and I have also seen plenty of people forget to put in that TiAl ring. I helped correct such an issue just last year at a friend's house. "Hey, what's this ring in the bottom of the box?" "Oh, just some fire ring, I don't think it is necessary." "Why is the edge beveled, like that?" "doh!"
Hi guys,
I am going to post this in a few different places. This is some real world stuff for you guys.
This dyno sheet is more of what to expect instead of some of the low numbers and problems that are popping up here and there from tuning and combinations that aren't working well.
These are not the best numbers to expect, just something more respectable than what I am seeing. This dyno sheet is from a BR Stage 1-4 and the BR580 kit. It was done on C16 and tuned with the EMS. Bone stock engine, head, intake and throttle body. Boost was set at 26 psi. The tune that was done on the car was very non-aggressive and this was done an a Dynojet AWD dyno.
The 387/321 was 93 octane, timing was set at only 4 degrees at peak torque.
The 463/403 was on the C16, timing was set at only 12 degrees peak.
We did NOT do this tune, but this is a better example of what the kit is capable of even with a tune that is not aggressive. From the looks of the MAPS nothing was done at all to try and enhance the spool up on the turbo.
With a more aggressive tune and 30 psi of boost I don't see a problem with this particular car making 520 hp, that should be easy.
Thanks,

Damn it, I already posted the dyno sheet in the "engine turbo drivetrain" topic under Buschur Racing Turbo kits. Won't allow me to post it again here.
Please go check it out.

oh no problem. Use Image software like Kodak imaging or ADOBE to change the size of the image. Make it smaller or a bit or bigger about 550 dpi. Rename the file it self right click on it and then rename it to Lastdyno or something. It will work.
