Somethings off with my kit. The car suddenly has much more power. After checking in the Torque app, I'm seeing 1 bar / 14.5 psi. It should be around 0.5 bar / 7 psi as I'm still on stock internals.
Suggestions?

I suspect I've had a PCV leak in mine, so replaced the block fitting with a WRX PCV valve which I think has solved the issue. |

---- Completely different question: while investigating my boost leak issue I found, that one of the gaskets running from header to the turbo has failed. I have a new set of gaskets ready to be installed, but I figured I could also heat wrap the header while I'm on it. Are the headers prone to cracking when heat wrapping them? I know that some headers will crack due to the additional heat going into them after wrapping.

If you have heat issues or do long track sessions, I'd be doing everything I can to keep a handle on heat. On the topic of heat management, I've just picked up a T25/28 turbo blanket. Fingers crossed it fits. I've ordered one of the bigger Avo 2049 turbochargers as mine has started pissing oil out of the seals. Does anyone know what turbo rebuild kits I could use for the 1849? Would be nice to have a spare turbo in case this one fails as well. Sent from my HD1903 using Tapatalk |

Interesting issue I've had recently guys, would love some input.
TLDR: New turbo doesn't make more power with more boost. Would like input before going for another dyno session. Story time: Background is I've spun a bearing and have just had a rebuild: Pistons, rods, etc. were fine, however the local machine shop said my crank not quite straight. It's been buttoned back together with new bearings, new crank, and some minor oiling mods (pickup, baffle, and spacing out the stock temperature sensor to not impede flow). During the reassembly, the original turbo started leaking, which led to my purchasing a new AVO 2049 turbo with billet compressor wheel (apparently a TD05-20g by another name). Thus I now have an ooooold Stage 2 kit (from like 2014) with a new stage 3/4 turbo. During this time took the opportunity to install injectors and meth to try and take advantage of the bigger turbo. We went and did a first dyno tune, targetting 0.8bar/12psi as a conservative tune without meth. On a Mustang dyno, sea level, with 40C / 104F temperature, it read 245 whp / 265lbft. Tuner said fuelling was spot on with AFR and no signs of knock (UAE 98 RON fuel). Video below (apologies for cutting off the screen shot): Honestly, numbers a bit disappointing. But also a bit weird because I thought you typically see a bigger number on whp than torque, but I digress. Note: I have bought this car already with the turbo so don't have a baseline We then tried with higher boost, without meth. Ended up at 1.2bar (almost 18 psi). Weirdly it put down less power (220whp at 18psi - really???). Additionally, the boost seemed to taper off as the revs climbed. With an EBC and this size turbo it really shouldn't be running out of steam. Then we ran out of time on the dyno so kept it at the 12psi map. Unfortunately I don't have the dyno charts to back this up. I've been trying to think through what to solve before booking more dyno time, and I'm honestly at a loss at to whats up. I've been thinking anything from a boost leak, to heat soak, to restrictive piping (still running the original hard pipes and IC from the old kit, and a 2.5" exhaust throughout), to bad fuel. Any clues that the collective minds on here can lend? Thank you! |

Power before scavenge pump failed.
Hi all! So with the Larger Avo Intercooler and Billet turbo, Avo Oil cooler, e85, 14 PSI (Ptuning EBC), JDL 3 Inch Overpipe and dual resonated mid pipe, 3 inch Perrin resonated catback, 17+ intake manifold, ID 1000cc injectors, DW300 fuel pump, Radium catch can, K&N drop in filter, and ACT clutch with prolight flywheel I made 340 whp and 279 torque on a Mustang Dyno.
The scavenge pump failed and I had to order a new one from AVO. I am also installing the Denstoj rocker arm retaining kit. When we opened up the built engine (it has stock compression), it had the old school rocker arms, but GSC valve springs installed. I have a set of newer rocker arms, so those will be going in too. I will post images as soon as I get the FTP back up. I have a feeling I will be making a little bit less once the engine is back together. |

Thanks for sharing, this is good context, and 340 wheel on Mustang is very respectable! Seems that the e85, intercooler & charge pipes, and 3" exhaust makes all the difference. Do you have images of the dyno charts? |

That is good on the gutted header for dollar per HP. My kit has been just working great, no issues. I am limiting mine to about 8 PSI max. I can get to 10 easy but do not have any of the upgraded cold sided so probably would not get much more than that. I do know the full 3 inch exhaust helped a lot. I am working on a Jekyll and Hyde axle back right now and will have almost everything for a 2nd one if you are interested. It is made from 2 Nameless axle backs. PM me if you are interested.
