martin, the thread is over with this statement. ok, so perhaps the wastegate was set at 14psi...but if it had "trouble" staying there, those peak numbers are probably from a huuuuge spike, or massive creep.
thats like saying i made 350hp on 8psi........but it spiked to 15 initially.
i'll throw $100 down on the dyno challenge too. the most power i think i've ever seen on a KA at 14psi was somewhere between 360 and 380whp, and that was on a larger turbo.
most people are hard pressed to push 400hp on ~20psi. a stock KA and that turbo will never make those numbers.
i hate to be a hater, and im not hating the numbers...just the boost level.
