a boost controller will speed up spool times not just raise boost

im going to make this statement without knowing how and who tuned this but, I think you need a better tune. I have a friend with an ls vtec. Tuned on Crome. 14psi. That bitch rips for what it is. Just pistons and rods. I mean it could be the vtec head but at the same time it could be the tuning as well. I was pretty damn suprised by how this car moved. It made on 257 whp cant remember the torque. This was tuned at CFT last week.

If you're running stock boost, then why do you want to upgrade the turbo? Raise the boost, and tune the car. You should be more then happy. There is no need at all to upgrade your turbo at this point. Your car is probably making just over 200whp @9psi. You need to raise the boost, get larger injectors, and some engine managment. Once you get that all done I bet you will be seeing low 300's.

Ok, I'm just going to go with my original plan. Full 3 inch exhaust including downpipe, tune with Uberdata to boost 14 psi (maybe 16 if I'm lucky), change my POS 310 injectors, and call it a day.
