low boost numbers
well im a little curious about my turbo, its a 71 series 64/14 and i have lasercut dvs, 435 injectors and a #4 fuel plate for fuel, i can't seem to get more than 48psi out of my turbo, the wastegate is adjusted all the way and i have a boost elbow put in, but only gained 6 psi from all that, why cant i get any more boost??? with all that fuel i should be boosting more, i was told the efficiency range for this turbo is 55psi any one have any ideas?? thanks

Remove the boost elbow and insert a 1/4 inch pipe plug and see what happens. I only see 30 lbs with my 64 and it cleans up nicely at nearly 500 hp. Do you see smoke at full boost?

No I didnt buy the ez new, i bout it from a friend for a $100. I can see a little hase of smoke at full throttle. The only reason i ask, "is 20 not that much" is bc i had a friend install it and it was his first time doing it.
I should have done it myself
, But i dunno. i am ordering the elbow.. I will c if that helps.
