Looks to be quite laggy from the graph? Still personally think the hotside is too big, if you had the engine revving to 6krpm then fair enough but it doesn't look to be at peak boost until pretty much 3krpm.
Was this not a twin scroller too?
And as said, don't worry about an 11mm until you can get it boosting clean.

It certainly does need more revs to get the most from the turbo, gov mod is on my to do list. it is a twin scroll yes, starts spooling quite early but the revs cant build up fast enough to get it boosting hard until about 3k.
il make a vid of it on boost, fiddled a bit with the pump when i got back from the dyno and it seems to be clean on boost now

absolutely cant wait for payday this month, so much i want to get done on this, mostly painting things white.
morettes need the masks painting white, bonnet needs doing, new bumper needs doing and i still need to get the dented roof smoothed.
been considering painting the black strip on the front bumper and the splitter white.
will be changing the rad and wiring in all the remaining gauges over the next week and its service time.
oooh and getting some 16" rims from sam so the brembos can finally be fitted along with a cheeky lower to 60mm

theres a pretty big gap tbh, doesnt look the best. i originally had a smooth phase 3 grill and bonnet but didnt like the look atall so put it back to phase 1 but kept the lights. i quite like the look tbh but as you can see, there are some pretty big gaps
*if you want to change the front end a bit, i have a smooth phase 1 grill for sale
