Default should i switch my turbo before i put it on???

i got the turbonetics TC-76MPS and i thought other people were running it but i just realized its only me and forcefd, and he cant get it to boost past 9psi, so should i send it back and go with another one? maybe a smaller AR on the turbonetics (its a .96) or a garret turbo like the one tondss and nintres have?

anyone know anyone with a turbonetics tc-76?

(im going to call forcedinductions.com on monday)

No, it should be completely fine. I don't think its the turbo thats limiting him to 9psi.

I say keep the turbo, because that thing is capable of WAY more than 9psi and Im sure Jose will say the same. Hopefully you wont have any problems, as i think that it might be something else holding forcefd's setup back.
