Maybe some type of electric heater wrapped around the exst would help?

I know this post is old but I am kinda curious why the STS dyno sheet looks so peaky?
Mine doesn't do that at all but then again we feel my exhaust housing might have been to small so we are gonna try out a bigger turbo altogether next week and see if it helps or hurts.

This is my old sheet form a few months ago.


We couldn't start my run till after about 4k rpm or else it would downshift into 2nd gear so it looks like it takes forever to hit full boost but on the street it is anything but.

Keep in mind that this is in a 5.3L GMC 4x4 with 60lb rim/tires and a 4wd transfer case.

I just have to say JZ 97 you crack me up you can't just leave it alone huh? every sts thread that's posted your on trying to put it down, just because you didn't think of it first doesn't mean it won't work, it's being proven *** we speak daily(ha!ha!ha!) for people like me I look at price compared to heads, cam , install , tune etc. I like the fact that I could install in less than a day and probably get more power than heads and cam def. more torque (it's what counts) nuff said.
