here is my problem. Without boost controller it will spool to 11psi and stay there. With a turbosmart tee manual boost controller with added boost, it will spike to 14~16 psi then drop back to 11 psi by the time I get to 5500rpm (and all the way to 7500).
Then I removed the "gate system" from the boost controller, it helped reduce the spike by a massive margin. Now the system will boost to 16psi then slowly drop down to 11*~12psi as the rpm climbs.
I seem to get max boost @ 3700rpm or so and by 5500rpm it is down to 11psi. The car also started to feel less powerful than before. Compression tested good(175~190 across all six cylinders). I also tested for boostleak and promply fixed them, however I didn't notice any gain in boost or spool time.
The turbos did have a bit of shaft play when I swapped the engine a year ago but they aren't blowing oil.
What is going on, are the twins dying? is it time for a single turbo?
Background info
1989 turbo supra. I swapped a 1jz last year.
here is what has been done to it:
-Driftmotion 1/2jz intercooler kit for mk3
-3" divided Y-pipe
-3" downpipe and exhaust
-6 puck ceramic clutch and upgraded PP
-2jz 440cc
-SafcII
-Mishimoto rad
-New sparkplugs
-Hks Ssqv replica. (does not leak)
-Turbosmart boost TEE installed for parallel setup.
