pt51

With a 2800 stall and the pt51, how much should you be able to build @ the line....and does pulling the adj wastegate tighter make the turbo spool better?

With a 2800 and a TA51 i was able to hold about 7-8 psi on the brakes with s-10 wheel cylinders.

With the stock converter and stock brake shoes but adjusted properly I could hold 8 pounds and build it quickly with my PTE51.

3000 stall and better brakes easily hold 15 pounds, couldn't launch with it however.

I had the wastegate very tight for those tests since we were racing at some altitude at LVD in NY which requires torquing down the arm to get good max. boost.

I can only build like 4# @ the line w/ my 2800 converter...but I am only running like 12# of boost...could that be the reason?
