    Dyno graphs

    I run my source off of the turbo also. the hose length between the turbo and valve is like 6-8 inches, and between the valve and the wastegate is like 8-10 inches. so its not exactly a long amount. the reason I think the boost spikes, is because the spring holds everything closed until the set...
