I got a TD turboforce 2.5 with 120 miles on it sitting on the shelf? I will be UP 15-26. These TD tunes are based off what exhaust your running. Also CAI, 2 bar, 3 bar. ETC.

Interior pic of my muffler. I just find it so hard to believe that this design cannot flow enough?!?!

If you have a guy making you a muffler, make a straight through design. Every time that exhaust has to make a turn, it's a restriction.
Cut that muffler off and weld a bullet type on there to test. Should be cheap, quick and easy. That will tell you if you have a flow problem.

You are likely fine with the 91 and boostain. But just know lots of timing can be pulled before the deto light goes off. Not saying this is your problem but keep in mind. go up in Octane and test again if you find no other problems.I live in the world of 91 (non-ethanol) so I've found 1oz of boostain per 10 gallons will shut the deto lights off.
Also testing in 25° f+/-.
I did a boost leak test last week I found when decompressing from 20 psi to 10 psi that the needle from 20 to 16 1/2 swept fairly quickly and then slowed down. After securing all the clamps I had a nice steady progression on the needle from 20psi down to 10psi. I then stopped watching gauge.

We built a pair of mufflers with magnaflow xl bodies, looks like same muffler design. They ran good for us, but eventually got loud.
I was running 74 grams, qay70s, stock springs & helix, 9050rpm on powertrail, 3bar sensor, no cold air

quit sugar coating things and tell me how you really feel? Lol.Not good, very restrictive, i can almost say that is your problem, my offer still stands.
yes, please give me a day to think things thru and consider. Ty, jonYour welcome to try the 2.5 Turboforce I have also
Understand your direction. yes, this can be corrected.Not enough flow.

My guy works ummm at a very methodical pace. Job like this will definitely take a few weeks. Better to approach him in the off-season.

Were the boost readouts different for each tune?

Definitely.... I assume once the lights on it's already doing its job.You are likely fine with the 91 and boostain. But just know lots of timing can be pulled before the deto light goes off. Not saying this is your problem but keep in mind. go up in Octane and test again if you find no other problems.
It did come on today on my first Pull. But I anticipated it and added .5oz to 5gal.
And the Boostane doesn't work right away. You got to ride it around for 5min to get it to mix.
Tom, which belt?We built a pair of mufflers with magnaflow xl bodies, looks like same muffler design. They ran good for us, but eventually got loud.

I think if I want to stay at this power level I just need to consider a 3 bar map.

Tom, I wasn't planning on it. I can't even ride, period.Jt, are you coming to ty ride by chance?

Need to get things ruled out & resolved before I could even consider taking a trip.
I hope that gives you an idea on where my mind's at.
I know the sled runs good....but it's just not right. Ty for the offer. Very nice of you.

I’m following all these discussions closely as one can never learn enough. One question i have is ot safe to assume that everyone posting clutch weights is running the stock sidewinder clutch and not the apex style??

Did you check your exhaust pipe coming to turbo for leaks, mine was doing the same, ran fine but not making power, I have hurricane tunes, talked to Dave and he had me put thin rubber in pipe next to turbo and reclamp then pressure test, the lower clamp by gas tank was leaking bad, took some messing around to get it to seal but I have my power back now.
