First time at track ever.

These are my best and worst. The only problem is I think my best run I broke into 13's but they gave me the wrong slip. The guy I raced ran a 13.8 and we passed the line just about the same time I mean I though i was gonna win and last second he went by. Anyway i was only able to build 10 psi in the runs and i was launching good and had decent r/t except for the worst time I ran. Best run was against a 99 mustang GT w/ exghuast and short throw. My worst run was against a MR2 Turbo and still spanked him by almost a second. The other 3 runs I got beat but they were all low 13 second cars (fox body ran a 13.2-.95 seconds ahead, 95ish cobra 13.6-.43 seconds ahead, gen1 gsx 13.8-don't know but less than a second apart). Every single race though I was off and away before any other car even the GSX. Now if i can get my boost up to were it is suppose to be I will be all good. Only problem is I have the actuator disconnected and still only get 10 psi.

Serious about performance
Is your cat clogged, exhaust leaking majorly prior to the turbine housing, or is your turbo compessor damaged? Or is boost leaking majorly under the hood? I dunno what else it could be.

Uhm what do you say is disconnected???

The wastegate actuator rod itself, or the plug at the WG solenoid?
With the plug disconnected you will only build the base boost of the spring in the gate. Stock spring would be 9-10 PSI.
Do you have an external wastegate?
Why are you running unplugged???

If the rod is disconnected all together the wastegate won't even stay closed and you'll have almost no boost.

BG said if i unplug the wastegate actuator that it would run an ungodley amount of boost but since there is a leak and it was not building somewhere near 30 lbs of boost and it was under stock that it would be ok until i fixed the leak.
