The car has usual mods, i.e. 803's, 3bar, chip, Mongoose 3" etc but i am yet to fit a cold side bov and RS500 size intercooler. Turbo is standard as far as i know.
What actuator are you using? If standard, it sounds like the wastegate is being pushed open, as the actuator isn't man enough...
Alternatively, it could be the way the chip is mapped and so the wastegate is being told to open at these revs?
