Updates to the turbo kits:

We will be shipping kits out with newer, updated wastegate boost actuators. I've been testing the updated 7psi and 5psi actuator on 91 octane in California, and performance has been excellent.

Here are dyno charts of the new 5psi and the new 7psi on my car. These charts are purely on wastegate pressure, 92 octane, with no modifications to the tuning maps.

New 7psi Actuator



These figures are on my car, which still is on the pre-production manifold, so to compare as a back-to-back figure. Spool up performance on a production kit will be better, and there will be power variances due to gas and exhaust differences.

There isn't a huge difference from the previous actuators, but these do hold the higher rpm boost a bit better. Power delivery is still as smooth as before.
