Default Spool-up problem...

Hi,

Im not satisfied with the spool-up in my RST. Im currently using a Mitsu 16t turbo. Shall I try n tighten the Wastegate or lose it? Is´t quite sloppy at the moment.

cheers

if your going to do anything to the wastegate get it done from a pro.. as the fuelling will be out.

Only if it ends up producing more boost will it (assuming it's EFI, if it's MFI then it'll be fine as long as it's within the remit of the metering head!).

Im using a HDI-boost controller so the boost wont get to high. Also got a Air/fuel gauge conected to control the mixture.
Soon there will be a extra injector to get enough fuel during acceleration and high boost.
