My understanding of lean spool is to AID spool. not to diminish it. why would mitsu want laggier set ups? and this helps my thought, leaner conditions creating MBT pre spool to help flow as much air throught the motor and helping the turbo spool faster.
I'll get to your last comment later cuz i'm at work.

I went back and pulled up those logs from before and after the timing was added, and the load before the added timing has a pretty good higher load average to it, even though the power output was lower. So the lower timing could have been creating "artificial load", which wasn't helpful for power output but was helping the turbo. Maybe. So after going and buying springs at RSD today, I was wrong about my spring pressure. Turns out one of the springs I have is brown, not maroon (I was guessing, it could have been either) so I only have 8~ psi of spring pressure
Needless to say I've picked up some more springs, so we'll see how that helps.
I bought springs that could take me all the way up to 21lbs of spring pressure, but I think I'll start with ~17psi and see if that works. If that helps but doesn't fix it, I'll go higher. If that fixes it, I'll leave it there, and if it doesn't help... back to the drawing board!

Just got the wastegate back in, I have to load a map with the WGDC zeroed out, then tomorrow morning I plan on tuning back up to 26psi and seeing how it goes. Will let you know.

So after seeing what Cobra posted on the utahpace forum, I started thinking. What he said made some good sense. I was going to put this reply there, but he might be confused why I was replying to him I went back and pulled up those logs from before and after the timing was added, and the load before the added timing has a pretty good higher load average to it, even though the power output was lower. So the lower timing could have been creating "artificial load", which wasn't helpful for power output but was helping the turbo. Maybe.

But it is much easier over there with the forum structure to talk and discuss things. We have some really knowledgeable people that are willing to talk and debate theory on things. Its great! If anyone wants to take a stab at some of my motor issue's BY ALL MEANS GET OVER THERE AND HELP ME OUT PEOPLE.
Once you register check out my WINTER LOTUS SUPER 7 build thread. See my pics and give me some feedback PLEASE.
That is all :-)

So I put the 17psi springs in, and with the wgdc zeroed I was hitting 26psi! D'oh! On the plus side, no more surge sound. I then hooked up the boost line right from the compressor, still 26psi (and no surge). Pulled the wg apart, looks like a torn diaphragm. Yay! On the bright side tial said they'll fix it.
