I'm sure you got the right kit man. If the turbo is SOOOO small you'd be getting boost quicker not later so I'm not sure what your confused about. It's obviously not that small and if the car runs and drives fine like you said then there is no major problems with the kit i.e. leaks, incorrect parts....

first off, u have way too much money for an 18 year old
secondly i cant help u while im at work with what turbo u are running because photobucket is blocked. re-host them in imageshack and i will take a look.
thridly, u have to realize that the higher the boost level, the longer the lag. now 24 pis hitting at 6k does seems kinda laggy. what kind of power r u making?

Way to much money for n 18yo? im paying for all of my parts.. only thing i didnt pay for is the car and partial insurance. so i guess i do have to much money.. even thou im broke lol
Yes it does seem extremly laggy.. exhaust leak was a good idea from the one guy.

So what i want to know is what couple possibly be wrong with my car.. and one idea was n exhaust leak.
Car drives fine when its daily driven.. i havent had any problems even with vta bov on stock ecu,but when its wot.. and driven hard or at the track it just doesnt feel consistant with the money ive putten into it.
DId you contact buschur? Did you have someone really look at the turbo to see if it's the wrong size? Boost leaks?
You probably have a very conservative tune as well. You did not even have ARP Headstuds before you installed a 35R..... Do you have cams in the car?
I hate to say but adding some cams would definetly help with the situation.
I am sure you know this but you will make more power on a 50 trim kit with pump gas and meth than a 35R kit on pump. YOu know as well as everyone that this turbo is made for 28-35PSI....
Who is tuning your car if you don't mind?

If your hitting full boost (24psi) at 6000rpms something is definitley wrong. I have a 35r running at 26psi and i see just under 5k, it's really not laggy at all. I'd say get the AEM on there and bring it to a reputable AEM tuner and I'm sure it will make a huge difference once the car has a good solid tune on it.
the exhaust leak would only make sense if it was comming from the exhaust manifold, not after the exhaust.
and yea man, damn i wish i had as much money as u do now, let a lone when i was 18.

Right, i completely understand that.. but one big thing is that, when i look at my turbokit.. the turbo and hotside are sooo small commpaired to other kits that i think for some reason i didnt get the right kit.
Also the spool feels way to late, which is why im thinking theres something wrong

Thats EXACTLY what im saying. The turbo seems and looks SMALLER then a 35r, and spools later then one
