yesterday went to the track (1/4 mile), I ran 14.08 sec @ 102 mph and 14.01 sec @ 101mph.My mods are in my signature.

What do you guys think?

i reckon thats pretty good on street tyres. your car must be making good power at 12 psi to get that mph.

My 60 ft was 2.2 seconds , on 215/60/15 streettires.I think that I have problems with my WG actuator, because the boost peaks at 14 psi (where I want it) but as the revs climb the boost drops all the way down to 11-12 lbs.

Timing is set at 8 or 10 degrees (don't remember).

Thanks.

that 60' is not too bad but you can shave a fair bit off your et if you can get more traction.what spec T28 and actuator/boost control are you using? i had a mongrel T3 on my CA and had a boost spike of 3-4 psi, it used to really bug me.

I upgraded the stock T25 to a T-28, the company said that it has a T3, 60 compressor wheel.The actuator is from the T-25.

I use a bleedtype boost controller.

I don't have boost spike, but the boost falls off for about2-3 lbs. Is my actuator bad?

It sounds like your turbo is running out of puff at the top end but from the specs you give it should be fine at that boost. How long does it hold peak boost for before it drops? At what revs does boost peak? Have you got a good front pipe on your exhaust?A variation of 1-2 psi is pretty normal on a car with a bleed valve, especially with an actautor spring designed to hold about 7 psi.
