Hey guys after a couple unsuccessful drag races and my X having some wastegate issues after a couple extra mods here is what my final goal idea is...

I lil background of my mods...
(AMS UP/LO ICPs,Intake,FMIC,DP),UR TBE(throwing flames!!!pretty cool!!!)3-port boost solenoid and a CBRD tune...After the intake,ICPs and exhaust + 1st CBRD tune the car pulled real hard and got gr8 gains over the stock tune.Scared alot of chicks in the car!Then after the AMS DP,FMIC,and 3-port boost solenoid something just didnt feel right.What i 1st thought was compressor surges was actually just wastegate fluttering becuz of the increased boost levels about 26lbs and the boost solenoid.

The UR test pipe did help get rid of the fluttering but I can c from tonights track performace the fluttering is still there a bit.The car isnt pullin hard and smooth nemore from 1st to last gear. Most of the time high load WOT I get the fluttering...however sometimes it goes smoothly(Sometimes).Some ppl r used to it but I cant stand it...feels like Im hurtin the car.

Im not tryin to build a drag car or a track car for that matter.Well maybe a track car,but mainly I just want to have 1 of the fastest upgraded turbo cars on the road.Something that spools quickly with a high torque curve and quick responce from rolling takeoff and good acceleration from cruising in low RPM to WOT.The bolt on I have right now is all i want until I decide to get a better turbo which im lookin into right now but I probably wont get until next year...Right now im pretty sure ima go back to Chad at CBRD for a retune and put back the factory boost solenoid setup and turn the boost down to keep the wastegate from opening prematurely!When my X was at 23Lbs the car was pullin crazy hard with no flutter at all!

I kno a better turbo with a stronger wastegate would probably fix my acceleration problem now...but im not ready to get that quite yet...Im just gonna spend more time learning about turbos and their components to get a better understandin of them and come up with a good application for me and my driving Not just some effin huge turbo with stupid power i cant use!...Im will more then likely look into that BBK turbo or the FP Green/Red/or Black since I c they are kinda gaining interest right now.Ne feed back on there gains ne1?Ne othere tips?

 

I'll run a quick recap to make sure I got this right. Got car, added parts, got tune, car ran good, got more parts, no new tune, car runs bad. Am I tracking here?
Tune, tune tune, tune tune, tune tune (read that like Mm, Mm mm, Mm mm, Mm mm for full effect) and I'm guessing you meant 'spool' instead of 'spoil'. Making sure your components are functioning harmoniously is absolutely necessary to spare yourself problems like these.
If you update you tune and the problems persist, then think about swapping out more stuff.

 

No I got a 2nd tune after the DP,FMIC and 3-port boost solenoid.That when i started noticing the issue.I didnt get a tune after the test pipe.The fluttering was already there b4 the test pipe

 

Have you looked into any of the upgraded wastedgates?

 

Since lastnight ive been readin up on wastegates and how they work etc...I dont think i really want to get too much into the turbo right now.Since the summer is comin to a close i think ima hold off until next year to possibly look into upgrading to a better turbo of course with a stronger wastegate.I think for now im hoping i could just turn down the boost level to get a nicer responce
