There's always those quick spool valves that they have a thread posted in the forced induction. I'm not sure why your having problems with it spooling. The exhaust housings are .81's aren't they? I would figure that it would be uncontrollable anyways with the power band in it's present place. I would have guessed that it would just spool insanely fast.

to get it to spool faster you can either spray it, change gears, or get lower ar housings for your turbos. sweet car and great build you did there.

Did you get the car spooling any faster yet? A few questions for you if you didn't. What are your exhaust housings? And who tuned the car? Very nice car BTW.

I would def. Say to look into a couple of quick spool valves. From what I've seen they really help in spooling faster. I believe it was zombie (I think was his tech name) did some graphs and tests with them and saw a 33.3% faster spool time.

Do the housings need to be divided housings to use a spool valve?

Sometimes the rail side is sharp and can cut into them during installation. Put a little vaseline on the orings before you pop them in the rail.
got it fixed this wkend. yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was a oring.

so who makes the quick spool valves? how do you install them and do you have to retune the car?

Swap the 3.73's for a 3.25. Load the engine up harder and it will spool to turbo harder.

Spool valves go right under the Turbo hotside inlet( in your case t4 flange) it just has a butterfly valve on one side that opens at a desired point in time, you can use
a boost switch or rpm switch to operate them. With one flap closed the exhaust gas velocity increases spooling the Turbo quicker, it then opens to prevent choking. Think of pinching a garden hose with your thumb. Here's a link
