When does your Turbo start to Spool?

[Bakrauf]

Since I added the Vibrant exhaust I have noticed or it sounds like my turbo is gearing up a lot earlier than normal. Hell around,(when i step on the gas) -2 psi it sound like it reving up. Sometimes i drive aroun and try to keep out of the turbo to conserve gas. But I just cant do it..lol

when i opened up the exhaust the turbo spooled alot sooner. you have to really feather the gas to not spool the turbo.

well, I reach 10psi by 2800 rpm. By removing the stock airbox then it's a lil sooner.

nice, what BC are you running? and to anyone else who left the boost alone and has a gauge installed, what PSI did your boost get up to?

 

[ChopstickHero]

yes, it doesn't take much to spool up anymore. for me, really light throttle will start spool up and i can reach full boost 9psi or so, at about 2900rpm. i didn't open up my exhaust, still the stock one on there. before i adjusted boost, i was boosting maybe 5psi.

No BC, just the spring on the wastegate trick. My stock boost was 7psi...so I was one of the lucky ones ;P
But now that it's warmer it only reaches 9 or so. I have a GHL full dp.

mine spools sooner than that i think ... in 2nd/3rd gear i can get 10~12psi by 2500~2700rpm =\

My turbo takes a while.... more like 3000rpm, because its a GT28rs.

Fully stock setup it seems to start to spool up around 2000-2500rpm. Maximum boost probably doesn't take affect until about 3000rpm though from the feel of it. I don't have a boost gauge installed but I would imagine i'm probably peaking at about 6-7psi. I'm getting an Autometer Boost Gauge shortly so i'll let you know what the stock setup is like.

 

[Blitzd]

yeah mine spools at 3300 full boost

I was getting 10psi on my TB03 by 3000 RPM.

 

[MP3Architect]

with open exhaust at WOT mine seems to spool instantly. its crazy fun.

wellll i just fixed my actuator so now the wastegate opens properly so spool up takes more time =( lol

i get 1bar ~3000rpm
