Big boost increases followed by small power gains are indicative of the turbo reaching and surpassing maximum efficiency. Im not familiar with a ta45, but im sure it cant be smaller than a GT2540, in which case i would doubt its your turbo becoming inefficient.
Im pretty sure the early VVTi systems can only change the inlet cam timing, usually from like 18deg to 8deg or something, and this is to extend the torque curve, and flatten it off at its peak instead of letting it drop off. Check that your cam timing is infact correct. Make sure there are no boost leaks (u may have inadvertently countered for these during the tuning). Perhaps you can infact run more boost on the turbo and it is yet to become highly efficient?

Btw, having a hot day will make a HUGE difference to power output, especially at high boost, and my inlet temps are far lower than urs. . .
on my IG-GTE (zorst + 15pounds boost + intake) i am usually sitting on 35 - 38 deg inlet temps on a 18 degree day. . . look into that too!

Can ur mechanic not make any suggestions?



Turbo is much larger that a T25 series turbo. It is a 65mm compressor wheel. Because of how large it is I wouldn't have thought it would be out of its efficiency. And add to the fact that HKS turbos are supposed to be modified Garrett items that are meant to work at higher boost levels.

My engine doesn't have VVTI but I will check cam timing and check for any boost leaks. I suppose it is possible that the turbo isn't in its efficieny zone yet but I suppose I am just a bit scared of running much more boost.

The day wasn't actually that hot but the engine bay got pretty hot very quickly and the power dropped immediately after this happened. Will check inlet air temps when I am out on the road.

Edit: oh yeah mechanic said must be a crap turbo. Rolling Eyes
