Let me run this theory by you ... Boost Controllers

    OK tell me what you think about this. Running a few different types of boost controllers from blitz units to the avc-r - we have seen a break up up top, power falls off sooner than it should. Now when removing the boost controller and only using the wastegate sping, the car pulls smooth all the way to redline.

    Any ideas? Can boost controllers cause the turbo to "struggle"?

    Do you guys run into these issues?

    Any way you can datalog boost with and without the EBC? If there's no difference in boost, I don't see how the EBC could affect things.

    I would imagine if the WG is opening and closing as the BC tries to maintain a specific level, it would cause an instability in the exhaust flow to the turbo.

    I would think.
