Car feels amazing, can't wait to get it to the track this Spring.
I do say, I had a bit of an issue with my wastegate actuator. ATP sent it with a 9.5 turn pre load, I should have checked this before getting the turbo installed(It's so hard to do with turbo in the car). So I actually got it tuned with this much pre-load, TPG did an amazing job tuning this. I could imagine it was pretty tough considering it had that much pre load. I recently set the pre-load to about 3 turns. (I'm not sure if its in my head or not, but I feel like before spring comes along I'll prob get it tuned again, just because of that pre-load issue)
I might get a manifold as well so i'll need one anyway.
I swore I had a pull of 458/362ish but I can't find it. Oh well.
I love it, feels amazing, I really wanna do E85 but there are no stations around me.
Debating what to do next, I really want to build a 2.1 or 2.2 motor, but monies.
Why are you concerned about preload? The car is tuned and runs fine, it doesn't have issues with making too much boost or boost creep (judging by the torque curve). Just leave it. TPG would have told you that there was an issue with it if they were having trouble controlling boost.

Well, I was hitting like 32-33 PSI in 4th gear at higher than 6k RPM.
When it was tuned and when we took it for a spin after the tune it didn't seem to do it.(Stayed around 27ish)
The more I drove the car the more it happened.(Prob about 2 weeks after getting the tune is when it happened a lot)
TPG helped me with the issue(They went though a few things with me to figure it out), even on spring pressure it would hit that.
I ended up checking the pre-load and things have been quite a bit better.
I'm sure it wouldn't have been much of an issue if i had the turbo ported or something I dunno.
Out of curiosity what does a stock X make on this dyno, or your car when it was stock if it was on there?
thanks
I sadly never had mine on the dyno before I did my first few things to it(ETS Intake and OTS tune) Also when I showed up for my tune, I already had my Exhaust and Open dump on the car.
I think most people do 220-240 wheel on this dyno perhaps? I know thats a giant estimation.
