I'm not trying to put a downer on things but is 291bhp and 280lbf-ft not roughly the expected outputs from the smaller GT2X. Shouldn't this set up make 320+?

he said he has done it very conservatively and as i have to shell out for tax this month im gonna leave the actuater tweek until july then i should be seeing over 300 but if you look at DPJ graphs he is only hitting 290-300 too but i was abit dissapointed with the torque figures, as with 290 bhp i was expecting 320 lbs feet at least pick it up in an hour so ill have a chat with him and see what the score is!!!

Whats paying for tax got to do with setting it conservatively?

Why you gonna play with the actuator if you havent bumped up the settings, if it can actually take higher settings?

well if the map was the problem i will have a word and get some money off, but as it was on the dyno for 2 hours he is only charging me for one which is 80 quid which i think is resonable!!

right timing is on T5 boost setting doesnt matter as it has a mbc, right he took a link out my actuater as it was to long only letting it spool to 10 psi, as the actuator is abit shody on it im gonna buy a forge one as they are better made, so i can gain that extra 0.2 bar to reach its full potential, neally got it home when one of the ATP black pipes you get in the kit split open now of to the shop to buy a samco one so hopefully things should be ok, driving style has to change a little to get the max out of it but it really is not that laggy well happy with it and he thinks it will easily break the 300 mark when i get a better actuator!!!

cant remember now who said this but do you not think the squashed pipe on your laguna setup may be chokeing it? causing a bottleneck in flow? (the pipe with map sensor attached)

Boost settings do matter, your parallel MBC will only limit boost not increase it.

How do you know the actuator is "is abit shody "? Whats the spring rated at?

Personally i wouldnt be too happy with the setup, its running lean as hell, but its alright coz it got nearly 300bhp.
