fp red
Do you guys know of any stock evo 9 turbo or green that can hold 27.5 psi at 8000rpm???
This turbo is great.
Spool is great too, given that an 18 psi wga was used, which is supposed to "delay" the spool compared to the stock wga.

, maybe I'm wrong. Yeah I know that at this level of modification there's not a lot of difference in whp, I just wanted to point that out.
And no, there is no other stock footprint turbo that will hold more boost longer.
FP wastegate actuators do not delay the spoolup. If anything, they increase it. An actuators purpose is to keep the wastegate closed for longer before it starts to open. This increases spoolup time.
TTP, the surge you expereinced...do you think opening up the engine to help it breathe more would reduce that? Like 65mm TB, IM, etc...Or is it just a symptom of that particular turbo.
That doesn't sound too impressive since you make close to those numbers with the stock Evo 9 turbo.
Here is a thread where you made 429whp/469wtq on the stock 9 turbo

Here is another thread where you made 431whp/456wtq on the stock 9 turbo

Here is the relative mod list for the test car with STOCK FMIC
463.1whp/445wtq Mustang Dyno AWD 500
Sunoco 110 octane
Maximum boost 33-34psi with slight compressor surge to 5000rpms
Spoolup 3800rpms
32psi @ 4000rpms
27.6psi @ 8000rpms
FP EVORed Turbocharger 10.5 single puck with HP actuator, unported.
HKS 280 280, both intake and exhaust.
Adjustable exhaust cam gears 0/0
stock, stock retainers
ARP head studs
Ported coated manifold
Stock FMIC
745cc TTP injectors
342 fuel pump
Megan Tubular O2 housing
Megan 3” DP
Megan 3” test pipe
Megan 3” catback
Forge Evo 15 valve
ACT HDSS clutch
Stock ECU Custom tune by TTP-Engineering
Stock intake manifold
Stock head (no porting)
Stock shortblock
Stock Turbo Air inlet pipe
Stock upper IC pipe/hoses
Stock throttle body
Stock exhaust manifold (no porting)
Stock ignition system and coils
+35-40whp is an excellent gain on a stock turbo footprint on a stock compressor housing.
What ever smoke and mirrors hype you guys dream about expecting 500+whp out of a stock Evo 9 compressor housing is not going to happen.
Forced Performance did a great job piecing together this turbo.
In our opinion here is our take on the Evo footprint turbo lineup.
Stock Evo 9 turbo - - Maximum boost with wastegate line 34psi
- Maximum Power 433whp Mustang Dyno
EvoGreen turbo - - Maximum boost with wastegate line 34psi
- Maximum Power 455whp Mustang Dyno
EvoRed turbo - - Maximum boost with wastegate line 34psi
- Maximum Power 475whp Mustang Dyno
TTP thats awesome I may have to take the drive up to come get my car tuned by you guys. Keep up the good work thanks for the results.
Please clarify the above statement. This is a nonsensical supposition. Not the part about the Red being a great turbo, but the delayed spoolup attributed to the FP HD WGA.

I'm not sure why it happens but I've seen quite a few upgraded WGA evos have lazy spool but high mid/high boost compared to the stock WGA. Maybe a spring or adjustment problem.
I doubt that it could be an inherent characteristic of the FP HD WGA, since it has a heavier spring than the stock unit. Also, since it is billed as an 18 PSI actuator you'd think that it would keep the puck on its seat longer due to the higher seat pressure.
So, yeah, if properly preloaded you'd think that you could get better spoolup with the FP unit. Almost by definition it shouldn't be fully open until 18 PSI is reached. And, by the same token you'd think that the lighter spring in the stock IX WGA would allow earlier puck movement.
