More Boost Same Power?

MHI will have more back pressure at 5000+ rpm.
If we look at the perfect situation, 2 psi is 6.8% more pressure (2 psi ÷ 29.4 psia). That comes out to about 25hp. If we can keep compressed temp and engine/driveline efficiency the same, then we can expect a max of 25 hp more. But we know air temps will increase some with higher pressure (even with FP Red BB), especially with MHI version. I am surprised that you lost power with 2psi extra boost. Makes me wonder how much I'm losing from using a HFC over a test pipe. Lol

VD is off by however much you set it to be off.

I think if the HFC is well constructed then gains would be minimal. However I think it also depends on your setup. If you’re running 30lbs on a Fp Black vs 25psi on a stock turbo you’d probably experience more bottlenecking on the Black than the stocker

That would depend entirely on the turbocharger and WGA being used.

Exhaust diameter. Need to go with a bigger turbo back exhaust. I'm at a 3" now. Need to go with a 3.5 or 4" to fix the issue. I kind of fixed the issue. Took the s257 off and put my 6466 on. 90 lbs/min turbo is gonna move air better than 65 lbs/min turbo and make more power with less boost. Haha. Other than that I am gonna run into the same issue with the exhaust on the 6466 as well. But since I had to rebuild my exedy triple disc clutch I haven't even worried about fixing the back pressure issue.

Not even close to comparable. You have a turbine housing the actually flows well, a different exhaust manifold, and an external gate. The MHI hot side is TINY. And the spring pressure in your gate matters too.

Alright everyone so as a quick summary, my exhaust is not the problem. Virtual dyno runs are mostly similar. If it was the exhaust being a bottle neck I would have expected better gains across the board, especially considering there is a 2-2.5psi difference between the exhaust dump run (purple) and previous mild tune by myself (green). I find it especially odd that at the top end the car just seems like its getting hot air and falls on its face with more boost. Granted, the temps when I did the exhaust dump pull were very hot, but i still see no reason why it shouldn't be holding better. The car has a 3.5 inch FMIC from Perrin and it is a little banged up but not in terrible shape by any means...
