    Changed turbo set up to a ported and polished VF48 with Tial 44 EWG, Grimmspeed upipe and dumptube, and ported/polished oem stock exhaust manifold.

    Thanks Kokopelli for the turbo.
    Thanks Doug for getting me to the numbers I wanted to reach.

    Nice man! Now what happened to your 43?

    Also, how much did the porting and polishing help with spool? Can't tell what RPM you are at on the dyno plot when you reach full boost. 4k?

    Why a td05 and not a td06? Spoolability?

    I'm going to be very very gentle.

    Yes spool-ability. The ~500 RPM spool difference between the two makes me lean towards the TD05.

    Good thing you have EWG. On a 2.5L the tdo5 likes to creep. Should be a nasty tq monster!

    Turbo installed and ecu re-flashed with a map by Clark Turner Tuning.

    First impressions: WOW! Big difference from my previous turbo.

    Gonna do some data logging so he can really tweak the map.

    Got retuned by Doug today.

    Gonna have to figure out what's causing Doug to have to set the timing oddly low.

    Any luck on finding the culprit for the timing being low?

    Yeah odd a 20g hybrid should be easily just shy of ~400whp on topspeed's dyno

    No but we are speculating the heads/valves may be the issue...I'm just gonna drive it for a while as is and eventually swap a built setup.

    My stock EJ205 had the EXACT same issue. Getting the motor drunk fixed that issue.


    When I built the engine you could notice where the hotspots were due to some burrs so I sanded those burrs down and the timing was spot on according to Doug when he tuned me on pump.
