Evo 8 with MAP EF2.5
Correct both are different.
the lowest pressure spring available in the MAP/turbosmart IX WGA , a 16#, or an 18# spring, or is it sometimes refered to as a 16-18# spring. Thus there is actually only one spring but some refer to it as 16#, whereas others refer to it as a 18# spring? Just trying to get things straight, thanks.
updated first post with graphs. still a work in progress, going to switch out wastegate spring with bigger 23psi spring/adjust preload and maybe do a hybrid boost control setup. that wont be a for a few weeks though. thanks for looking guys!!
Found some issues with flapper not sealing right, this maybe cause of poor spool. We will see very soon. Turbo should be done mid next week and back in that night. Probably some retuning as well since my car was running a bit lean at higher rpms
Cross posted from my thread... with light preload, I have achieved 25 psi by 4K RPM.

So, mean4g63, if I am reading this right, the EF2.5, is configured( at least wheelwise) roughly somewhere between the 73HTA Green, and the FP Red? This would be a neat turbo to ship over to Britain so as to have Owen Developments do a BB conversion on, huh?
For now, were too close to a local track weekend coming up in June to switch setups. Its the biggest event in MN for imports and MAP puts on the show which is badass. Might rebuild 2.0 after event better rods, pistons, etc I don't want a hole in this block
