I have a stock t3 turbo on my car now, with a tbi header and a custom made intake monifold. This used to produce up to 22 psi with shimming the wastegate actuator and an adjustable bleed with stock manifolds.
Now it makes about 18 spike and falls back to about 15-16 psi with the bleed completely removed. Am I pushing this turbo too far? (I'm pretty sure I'm off the map now) Or should it be shimmed further? I have 2 cold start injectors that come on at 15 and 18 psi to add the additional fuel.
It's also spitting alot of oil out of the compressor housing. The temperature around here has been about 35 c or 95 f Maybe it's unfair to rule it out at these temperatures?
Any tips?
