fp red, not doing what it should

I recently upgraded to an fp red and the tune results were quiet disapointing.
I'm driving an 03 with an 06 engine swap
list of mods effecting whp:
ID1000cc injectors
Walboro 400 pump
Speed density(no IAC)
FP red(28 psi on 93 octane)
3"full exhaust
Lightweight flywheel

350whp/330 torque. And full boost is at 5200. Seems very high. Any input on reasons the power is low and full boost is at 5200?

Have you performed a boost leak test? Have you made sure the engine is healthy with a compression test? Is it tuned by a reputable tuner?

is this internal or external wastegate turbo? sounds like wastegate is open for it to boost that slow and make so little power. you are ~100hp shy of where you should be

And 800-1000rpm behind for full boost on single scroll housing.

Thank you for the responses. Its an external waste gate. I plan on doing the compression test tomorrow along with checking for leaks. I will also inspect the waste gate and possibly swap out with a buddies. I will reply back with the results of the test. I appreciate the input. My power was 345/345 before the fp red. I had tpg install fp red and ID1000 and retuned with it now 350/330. My stock 9 turbo spooled so quickly and I know the red spools slower but at 5200 something is definitely wrong.

your setup is really close to mine. I just installed my red a few days ago. I went from a 71hta to a ball bearing red. I feel like mine spools late also, im going to do some tests and check it out more but deff would like to follow this post

tial wastegates with the seat left out is the most common mistake.

It's contagious. I have an HKS 7460 struggling to do much over 300whp. I'm following your thread to see if you find a solution I can try.
