its possible that its far too lean to make the turbo spool or a torque limit is hindering it from spooling.

it only has a one bar MAP sensor on no SD cheat patch to make that work. it has no fueling reference for boost except the MAF which will be miles from calibrated now being turbo.

I wouldn't rule out the stock tune causing you issues be it only that or be it that's its contributing to something else hindering your spool efforts.

do you have HP Tuners?

Definitely appreciate that insight. I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I do not have HP tuners but contemplating getting it for some time now. Might be time to pull the trigger.

Remove the wastegate and test it with an air compressor. You'll want to actually see the valve opening.

Video of Wastegate bench test. Should there really be daylight around the valve?? Also took more psi that I expected to get it to actuate.

You can see all the carbon on the flange it's definitely leaking like hell. Doesn't look like the fire ring was ever installed

i had the wrong clamp on it for a while but that should be resolved as of a while ago hopefully. I’ll keep an eye on that. I’m more concerned with where you can see daylight through, any opinion on that?

The fire ring isn't in there so basically there is no valve seat. But you do have the fire ring right?

I made the kit myself so I wouldn't be surprised if I messed something up. I have the exit of the wg pointed into the downpipe.

The dark grey ring is this picture is the fire ring. It’s not in your video or your pics. It’s a separate piece that you put in the gate before securing it to the hot side.

Let us know how it runs with the fire ring, you said you were still on the stock tune but I wouldn't run it without atleast a 2 bar base tune. As soon as it makes boost it's going to go extremely lean and more than likely melt the pistons or detonate and break it.
