you'll do better

Not too bad for not making 20psi until 5500rpm

I can here the wastegate opening around 17psi. Apexi told me the wastegate spring is a .8 bar, but it must be around .6. Hopefully, my new 1.4 bar spring will be entering the country soon. That should get my spool up around ~4800rpm.
Also, 34PSI and under 500WHP is not that impressive so I am wondering if it was the tune or what? Those are GT3076R numbers for sure or even a 50 Trim number.

Where did you get the spring from?

I never received the spring since they stop making them.
The turbo is only rated at 550 crank HP. It makes roughly 30hp more then my GT3076 at 30psi. If I would of used uncorrected numbers, like alot of people on this forum, then my 494whp would be around 530whp

It seems to spool a LOT better then the GT3076R but then again I believe your GT30 kit was internally gated and had a caste manifold? So that may be the Issue. I would love to see how it runs with a 20PSI spring. What is the issue with the wastegate?

I had a RnR GT3076 kit w/ a Tial 38mm wastegate.
The wastegate fell apart and was fixed by Apex'i. A 20psi spring won't help spool up w/ the way I am running boost control now. The only problem I have is I can't hold over 34 psi.
