You are loosing like 2- or 3psi up top. and boosting 500rpm later with that new actuator. I think you are one of the few people who have ever upgraded the greddy actuator. Its known to be weak, but people have goten 14psi out of them.. My stock one was fine for 11psi, once wound up to hold 8psi off the actutor. Solid till redline. Boost controller is the deciding factor. I used a profecb spec A and B, only the B would hold till redline. U can also try the turbosmart eboost, HKS EVC, blitz ID, apexi avcr. I wouldnt run anything else.
Oh and your exhaust is defaintly holding your power back in the upper rev range.
My first graph had basically the same boost curve are your first graph:

You can see u are making peak power quicker with the 2" (more low down torque), with about the same spoolup (cause i had a stagger 2.5" downpipe) but topend, you can see the car breaths alot better. At redline my car was making 7-8psi. At 4500rpm it was 10psi. tapered off cause of the turbosmart MBC.
Yeah I have an eboost-2 on my eBay watch list :thumbsup:
And 2.5" sitting on my deck..
Once I get back from Thailand both with be done...
My actuator was so weak I'm amazed it held any boost, I could put it out with my little finger unlike the new one..
I think even without a controller and 2.5" the higher rev's the actuator should hold up.. But yeah Electronic Boost is really the only answer...
hey Luke is it the smaller one or the larger one?
If you get a 2 1/4" one wanna swap for a 2 5/8" one???
I'll even throw in the cup for it.
Oh maybeQuote:
