Drive around the low stall...do you have any "converter lock" control module?

I learned to drive around a A5k at elevations up to 12,000 feet...I am sure you can handle what Utah throws at you...keep the rpms up!

My 64/14 will not spool fast till it hits 1800 rpms or so...it would be 1600 by itself...but you loose a little when it is inline with a S-400...lol.

I can drive around it while empty if I manually shift through the gears. With a load the EGT's would be 1300+ just trying to overcome the low stall when starting out in 1st. It hits 1350 just trying to build boost for a launch.

Oh how I wish it spooled at 1600 RPM! 1900 is more like it with mine.

So wierd...

How many miles do you have on the turbo now? Hard miles? I have had turbos take a bit to loosen up...

jrussell

Honestly, not that many. About 100-200. I would consider a lot of that hard miles since most of the mileage is from testing/troubleshooting. I would give it some more time to loosen up, but it would really have to be a night and day difference and I just don't see it getting that much better from breaking in.

just send it back. You have tried everything under the sun to make sure its not a programming issue or something you did.

Thats nothing...mine seems to spool 2x as good as the first 100 miles...

Put a 1000 miles on it...then see. Mine gets better every day. I was adjusting my wastegate daily trying to dial in my twins...stopped for a week...or another 500 miles...and it just keeps loosening up...and getting close to where it needs to be...

Day one...at 40 psi...I was seeing 10 psi from it.
This morning....at 40 psi...I was seeing 20 psi from it.

My A5k was better at 10k than 1k. They come tight...so they last a long time...lol.

BUt...the more I think about it...something else has to be wrong. Your description seems to extreme.

I would give it another 500 miles just to make sure...but maybe it is something else. Anything that is manufactured...can have a defect...
