Re: turbo problem
what size turbo???
most likely you will need a stall to get it spooled up quicker.

Re: turbo problem
Does not look like a "big" turbo. Could the actuator setting be too loose? How much pre-load does it have? There's not a big discription of the turbo size or specs... which isn't helpfull. I'd guess your spool time would only change 2-300rpm by looking at it.
If your using the factory boost controller your boost won't change just by installing a larger turbo.
I use the boost controllers made by this guy www.RJCracing.com Look at the boost controller.
Brings boost up quicker because it does not allow the actuator to move till you get to set boost level.
Good luck,
Scott~

Re: turbo problem
I have that very same turbo and didn't have any problems with spool up or boost.. just fitment. I did have to adjust the wastegate a bunch of times to find the boost I was looking for though so I'd start there.
Also from what i've been told the turbo is a "to4b h trim"

Re: turbo problem
I tried to adjust the waste gate today by shortening the rod by about 3 turns. (I don’t have my aftermarket boost gauge in yet, so all of these readings are from the stock one). At idle the vacuum is about 8 (middle of the green). It spools up great not but once I reach the max boost on the gauge it starts to sputter a little. Was the caused because I over adjusted the waste gate?

Re: turbo problem
You really shouldn't mess with the boost level until you get an aftermarket gauge hooked up because the stock one is soo useless it's sad. Sputtering in these trucks can be anything but useally end up being ignition parts ie plugs, wires cap and rotor when was the last time you tuned it up and what kind of plugs and gap did you use? how's your fuel pressure?
You might want to concider reaching out to a syty owner that's local to you that has a scan tool so you can see what's really going on inside that truck

Re: turbo problem
Is it possible your getting too much boost and your over boosting?? does the "check engine" light come on at all when this occurs?

Re: turbo problem
I had it on a stock truck. Ran great. did better with a 2500 stall but boosted good with the stock TC. Faster then stock. But I am using a greedy controler. Worked way better with the A2A setup. I liked it so much I upgraded to the stage 2. I set the rod 1/2 turn past all the way in so it had a bit of preload on it.

Re: turbo problem
"Stock Truck" means a lot of different things to different people.
I can't speak for Mike, but I'm guessing he meant in terms of motor internals. Not a 100% stock truck.
I can pretty much guarantee that the stock WG logic won't like that turbo. And without some additional fuel, the extra air that turbo is pushing will seriously shorten the lifespan of your motor.

Re: turbo problem
True but if you ask him what modifications you should have to help support the added cfm he'll tell you at very least a walbro 255 fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator and if you plan on using more boost then the stock 14.5 you should go with a 3bar map and chip

Re: turbo problem
well my mods are like this
but I would say you need a walbro pump, afpr to run at very least.. if you want more boost then stock which you will then you should look into a 3bar chip and map sensor.. or be on the safe side and up the injectors when you get the chip so you can have the chip calibrated to the new injector size. 50lbers are a very common upgrade for injectors on mild builds.
