just make sure cause Tylers did the same exact thing and he accidently capped it otherwise sounds like a leaking actuator or weak spring

I am pretty sure he pointed it out to me and even said this goes to atmosphere but let's hope he did plug it. Lol

I am almost 100% it it VTA not plugged. The car is spooling at 3800-4000 rpms but will not exceed 190% airload (I am commanding over 300% DAL) and the wg dc is pegged at 100% so the boost solenoid is not telling the WG to open.

I think it is to atmosphere actually.
its atmosphere for sure. We made sure of it when we swapped his turbo.

Only thing we could have done is reversed flow but nick actually called Tyler when we installed it.

Hopefully it will be final in two weeks, then I can submit it to format review with the grad college. After that I'll defend and then my committee decides if I pass, pass with minor revisions, pass with major revisions, or fail. It isn't a done deal though, a good friend of mine just defended and almost failed. He passed with major revisions and his committee told him it would take a minimum of a month of working on his thesis to get it to the level they expect it to be at.

Thanks man...I can't wait to be done. First thing I'm going to do is get drunk. Then I'm going to spend a day with my car...new tires, detailing, fixing the halos on my headlights, putting that little breather thingy on the valve cover, etc etc etc.

Hmm...if it was reversed flow I don't know if it would even boost to 16psi. Does seem strange that I had the exact same problem. I'd double check the WG rod also, because mine wasn't tightened enough and came loose. But, yeah, just double check all the connections and see if there is anything wrong/reversed/capped because it has to be something.

Dammit Nick, hurry up and get your **** right

We're all expecting big things from you, and if you get some slicks we fully expect you to break into the 10's soon!
