- #81
Installed the 10mm spacers last night, a bit more than 5 washers worth, with some longer bolts. It hasn't resolved my issues of being slow to build boost, and failing to hold boost at steady loads, yet it was a further improvement as far as exhaust tone (I have no muffler so this is obvious, less "wastegate is leaking" type sound under throttle, much quieter), and max boost level. It will now hit 18psi and creep to about 21 if I stay into it.
So I'm still not resolved. I'm kinda torn as to next steps: figure out how to boost leak test, or swap back to stock turbo.
I plan on digging into the boost compensator tonight to make sure nothing has gone sideways in there, just to be sure.
