Update on my boost problem

A while back i posted about how i was only boosting 12 psi on the autometer gauge. I installed a hallman pro bc and it fixed the problem. Im running 18 psi until i get tuned and the boost really holds well no taper at all. The car is running way faster than it ever did. Im really happy with the outcome.

One thing tho is I dont peak beast til about 3.5k to 4k is that normal? Is there any way for faster spool. I got my intake and exhaust installed. I still need to get tuned tho.

Other than that tho the car runs great

Good to hear you figured it out. As for the spool, you shouldn't really have anything to complain about on the stock turbo, make sure you are in a lower gear to spool up quicker, it should spool right up immediately.
