Mag's look really good! Your power seems a bit low for 13psi. Check the exhaust manifold divider and if you have a turbo head or not (my bet is on the head)

I dunno power figures, but if that's the same setup you ran a 16.9 with back in March, I'd suggest something's wrong...

For example, mine's got a reco motor with a KKR280 @ (supposedly; need a boost gauge) 8psi, AFM relocation, and that's it... and it reaches 100 in a shade under 7 seconds, which I imagine is good for a fair bit better than an almost 17 second quarter... : /

Good luck sorting it, dude

with the 118hp i ran the best of a 15.9
i ran the 16.9 with only a lowesy 95hp,thats before it got tuned.

but yeah i agree. i have a t25,fmic,2 turbo vl pumps. 13psi. surely i should be getting more then 118hp.

i have the standard ecu with afm, but still should be more hp then what i've got.

i have a microtech LT8s, just need the money to install it

My wife's ET ran a 15.8 stock although the boost seemed to be on about 9psi (didn't have a boost controller on it though)

Then she did a 14.8 (only clean run due to boost spiking) with just an intercooler, 2.5inch exhaust and t25g on 12psi

Now with my ET i had an N/A head but full exhaust, intercooler, ecu, 14psi, etc and i could only manage a 15.5 (91mph). It only pulled 125hp. All due to the N/A head. I swapped that out and power went straight to 180hp with a tune.

The intake ports cause a massive restriction. Go check the head number. 15M is the turbo head although there are other heads with the 'good' intake ports.
