Thank you friend. I had a TTE550 and mad about 620whp here in NZ so I upgrade to CTS Boss and hope it is an upgrade lol. I will push this turbo as far as I can if I don't get 700 I'll sell and buy speedtech. 🙂

This turbo has shown to have issues making a high amount of boost. Wastegate duty cycle is usually maxed. Hopefully you have better results.

It's a new manifold MATERIAL and not a new design. There's someone who still has issues making more than 20-22lbs of boost with this latest and greatest design that you speak of. Never heard of a new wastegate design, you're the first to mention this.

He’d have to go top mount as New Zealand is right hand drive, and probably have to do a bit of fabrication too for the down pipe. It would probably be worth going for the Speedtech in the long run though.

I noticed on the CTS web page they say not to run this turbo over 20 psi? Not sure if that is a recent development or not, but probably good for prospective buyers to be aware of this so their expectations are clear.

Right, the tuner said what he made on pump at 17psi and also what he made on e50 at 20psi. I think in the full comments he even mentioned that he thought the turbo had a lot left in it.

I'm not trying to be a downer about the turbo, or say people won't make good power with it, just pointing out that CTS themselves (not any tuner or other 3rd party) is saying that 20 psi is max for the turbo. That doesn't mean you can't squeeze more out of it, but the fact they're putting a 20psi max disclaimer right on their own product page speaks to what they believe the turbo's limitations are.

Now I’m totally agree with you.

Stock injector would max out 520whp E50, close 500whp full E85, Stage2 hpfp would max out close to 550whp on E40-E50. DS25 a bit higher, not much. No matter what turbo you have.
Pushing further, Liftkit+LPFP+upgraded Injectors are needed.
PI/meth is different story

Just refreshing this post

Will be introducing PI soon to this turbo build. Have had the Turbo for a year now on 23 psi with no issues. Gunna push the kit further with the PI since no one has done so yet(that I’ve seen). I’ve only been on pump gas, but will be introducing E to the car this weekend.

If it blows, Speedtech is next.

Why PI when a hpfp is easier and better.
