I rode in a truck last week that was having an unusual problem with the air output from it's compound turbo setup. Piping is correct(he has built many sets of twins).
manifold boost ---- primary boost
5psi------just moved of the peg
20psi-----9-10psi
40psi-----34psi
50psi-----40psi
75psi-----51psi
The truck runs well, but seat of the pants says the power is not matching the boost numbers.
He is running a 62/71/.8 secondary and a GT42-02 primary. The boost numbers remain basicly the same with a different primary(75/96/1.32 S400) and several different secondaries(62/65/.7, 64/71/.8, and 66/71/.8). 12valve truck, tuned 215 pump, DDP4's. Drive pressure is only slightly higher than boost (at manifold). Has tried changing boost gauges, egt's are not unusual. Changing the opening point on the secondary chargers wastegate has almost no affect. Gating the primary to 35 makes the truck a dog power wise.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
