aight heres the story i went to fine tune and dyno pull today.what a sad sad story.i have a 3rd gen with a t78 kit on and fuel and ic yayayaya.
ok at first we start doin pulls and the air control valve i am using from home depot isnt controlling boost correctly.so instead of doin 15 lbs pulls im doin 20 lbs pulls with fuel cut.the dyno gets up to 290 rwhp at 4500 rpms and was ready to climb.boost spiking like a bitch.so we took the controller out period.then we loosened up the spring til its allowing 14-15 lbs.but heres the problem,it wouldnt get full 15 lbs til 6500 rpms.gaaayyyy.he then added 12% fuel and added 17 rwhp.making a total of 307 rwhp at 6500 rpms.he said i easily have 400-420 rwhp car.i just need to get a boost controller that will allow me to get my boost quicker.and when i seen the computer's dyno chart(which wouldnt print,piece of ****)it was climbing to no end.goddamn it.

why on earth would you use an air control valve on T78!!!!! if anything go with the greddy TVVC manual!!! i am running the blitz sbc-id on mine. it should be able to control boost very well. sorry to hear about the problems
