LQ9 twin turbo won't rev
#22
Turbos have been proven on a near identical setup and pull through fine
Back pressure test is next on the list. If there is excess back pressure still need to find the cause, springs, cam timing etc

Retarded cam won’t stop it from revving, severely over advanced cam might. I’d think you’d smack the intake valve before getting is so advanced it wouldn’t rev like that though. That would also show up on a compression test I’d think. If the engine spits out some super high cranking compression numbers....
The fact that it will make 20lbs makes me think it isn’t an exhaust restriction. With my exh dump closed it necks my exh system down to 2” I couldn’t make over 5lbs with it closed on a 370.
I’d check the push rod lengths and get a known good spring in there. Was the head milled a lot? What push rod is in it now?
Also I don’t know about those turbos being "proven" with china 60mm compressors and a 58mm exh wheel in a t3 housing. Especially on a stroked 6.0. What are your current cubes? 408?
Those are small exh wheels/housings and compressors for your setup IMO… like WAY too small… and then some. Get a back pressure gauge on there I bet its high.

OP, can you post pics of the setup??
You say fueling is fine but what MAP sensor is on the engine combo? Is your tuner stumped with this as well?

90% chance its valve float, or an ignition timing issue. Just because its good with a light at idle means dog dig for where its at with a given RPM. You could be losing sync, the triggle wheel could be warped, any numebr of things could be fuckering it up.
