How to build boost faster?

You need a tune. Also, can we assume you have upgraded the IC?

With a twin scroll turbo you shouldn't have much issue with building boost earlier unless you have a problem. However the power delivery is very linear, not on off like the classic turbos. I would consider a turbo upgrade if everything else has been done.

Yup, I was planning on either BNR600 or 500. Looks like I’ll just wait till that to see if I can feel any more kick. Thanks!

Can you post a data log for us to look at? Maybe one of us can spot something on your log sheet that will help you out!

Sure, tomorrow I’ll try and get a fresh data log and see if I can figure out how to post it

I think i know what he is talking about, i feel mine with bolt ons stock tune the car was sporty in the pedal and gets weaker as you go 3/4 or so.
Tuned is feels weaker on throttle until you get 3/4 into it or floored then its balls out.
Seems it doesnt want to downshift unless going 3/4 into the pedal where untuned it will downshift better. Mine i can be at 60 in 4th gear hit a turn slowing to 25 and it will stay in 4th all the way to 60 unless i near floor the car. Theres no mild sporting anymore its slow and balls.

I have the upgraded wastegate from Tuneplus and tuned on 93 and E85. When flooring it hell yes car is crazy faster, just seems gotta be mild or balls only 2 options.

I didnt notice this when tuning. But i ended up with a leaking gasket at just under 5yrs so i got a free new short block from Ford.
I expected to get in car and it be lethargic but it seemed quite peppy with no tune just the bolt ons.
After flashing tune thats the feeling i get in the car now. It was better untuned i think. I could give it some pedal have a little fun wiggling the rear end around scare my fellow drivers on the road. Now i can only go slow or balls out lose the rear end scare myself. Its like theres no middle.

I know just remove the tune, but swapping the wastegate is a real ***** especially with catch can in the way now.

I am tuned my Ryan also basically same setup, I can footbrake and given enough time can leave on 8 to 13 lbs of boost. You can also use the transbrake to build boost. I stopped using transbrake cause the trans started acting up. But 11:66-11:70 on the tbrake and 11:7’s to 11:8’s on footbrake. Trading her in though. But getting a 2023 model. Updated block design and updated connecting rods. Starting all over again. Maybe not so radical on Bolt on’s. Stay in the 12’s this time
