Fairly high lol, but base pressure is only around 50 psi. IDC in the lower 90's. Haven't done much logging besides a couple pulls. One of these nights I'll go back out.
It was simple. My canister is pretty much gutted, so I have lots of room in there!
He uploaded it, but my friend was going to email me the view from my car as well since the quality went to **** when he texted it to me, but I'll probably just upload it all blurry anyways haha.

A little update on this. I've got almost 5,000 miles on this setup and its running strong. Check out the war stories section if you wanna see like 20 videos of it in action 
Hit the dyno last week to play around a little. It's a local shop so they let me rent out some time on the cheap
I'm adding some wastegate spring pressure since it won't hold over 27-28 lbs to redline. I just thought I'd turn it up until it wouldn't sustain pressure, which I figured would be about 30 lbs, so I was close. I'll go back with some more boost at some point.
Keep in mind I wasn't expecting to get any high numbers because this is a dyno dynamics that seems to run 12-13% lower than a dynojet. My TVS setup that made 370whp on a dynojet made 328whp on this dyno. For comparison in the past few weeks they had a stock ZL1 make 462whp, Boss 302 with track key made 327whp, I/H/big cam LS3 vette made 408whp, Procharged LS3 vette on 9lbs made 509whp, and D1SC LS1 WS6 on E85 and 8 psi made 515whp.
As most who have read this thread know already, back in April on the dynojet on 23 lbs with a bad pump only able to rev to 7300 I made 508whp in 4th gear. Last week on the dyno dynamics doing 3rd gear pulls on 24 lbs and proper fueling and full rpm range I made 481whp/346tq, on 28 holding 27 or so it made 518whp/417tq. The boost ramps a little more on lower boost and falls a little more on higher boost, but more spring pressure should fix that since I'm trying to more than double the spring pressure. What's cool is that during most of the pull it is making 60+whp more and at 6,000 rpms I am making ~90whp more on 28 than 24 lbs. I'll get the graphs to post up. We had the ramp rate set pretty low on the dyno so it wasn't too loaded up when out of boost, so it shows that it doesn't spool until right after 5k in 3rd, but I've posted screenshots of it on the street hitting 20psi by 4k, so don't let it seem too lazy

They definitely like to shine in the higher boost ranges. I've got the fueling for it so far, 95% IDC on 28 lbs with a base pressure of just ~50psi, so there is room to grow. Just time for me to get off my ass and put my stiffer WG spring in

It's the .55 ar, and its the smaller of the 2 s259et's. My end goal from the start was about 600whp, and I knew this turbo would do it and still spool well, so I didn't feel the need to go bigger. Very happy with how streetable it is! For a better perspective, I'm about 20 lbs in 4th gear at 4k, full boost shortly after that of course. 3rd gear is probably about 200 rpms later than that since the gear is simply shorter so it accelerates through it quicker. It comes to life pretty quick, and I always brake boost just enough to take care of any lag when I am racing

Honestly this is just the cast wheel .55. I was confident the setup would make power, but I was a little nervous I was going to regret not going billet or a little bigger, but I'm glad I stayed confident because I couldn't be happier with how it has turned out. The piping/FMIC/IM flow well and the motor seems to move some air as well, and I'm just on the ZZP S2 turbo cams.
My friend Cody (paintballer78) has the same turbo on his LNF with a 4.45 trans, on 24 lbs and its a pretty killer setup as well. He's on S1 cams and E85. Making 475-480whp or so. (Made 476 on the 5557 and 26 lbs)
