Hrmm...what did the dyno graph look like? I looked at your manifold design and i see no significant problems with it. when was the car achieving desired boost? what WG are you running? are you still controllign boost with the TEC2? it almost sounds like timing is too retarded. How did your Datalogs look in comparison to previous runs?
Here's the thing...that manifold HAS to be better than the LOG there is no way in hell it's worse. so in my mind it's turbo or tuning. i wouldnt be concerned with the boost level fluctuation. get that squared away later
