Big update: i checked how much pressure it takes to open the wastegates with a mity vac and they are stiffer then stock!! 6-7 psi just to start moving the arm. So kind of a really stupid screw up on my end i guess. dont ever believe what your told is the lesson here. Hope to hear from Mike tomorrow and get a new tune

That's great news! Should they be the same as the stockers?

I think you need another tuner I've turned to the dark side but you have lots if options.

Glad someone else said it. A good tuner should be helping you diagnose this. The full-race page says they should work fine on a stock tune but work the best with custom tuning. There is something very simple thats lying under your issues. Checking wastegates was a good step. Im curious what bovs are on them as the kompacts are adjustable and would cause driveability issues if theu are too hard/soft. Stockers may not be strong enough or could have a leak. Thatd be my next avenue to check. Do your troubleshooting on the stock tune then work your way to custom again.

After almost 2 days i got a new tune for 7psi wastegates. Ill need to try this out now and get back to you guys. Mike is helping alot more then i could ask for. I have turbosmart bovs installed and adjusted. They needed to be a full turn tighter then my stock turbos to run the truck.

If this tune doesnt work im starting to think i have a intake manifold leak. Ive had my engine replaced (just the block) about 3 years ago. Ill need to check this yet simple fix if thats the problem

Aren't these turbos installed in other vehicles (perhaps even ecoboost trucks)? So should the turbo seller be able to point you to a knowledgeable tuner?

Have you reached out to Full Race with the problems you're having?
