Brian, thanks so much for clarifying that point.
My ALDA does leak down from 15 lbs but over 15 or 20 seconds. I can *finally* get over that...

Next step is adjusting my wastegate and seeing if that makes a difference in the boost. To test if i'm going to get anything out of the adjustment I'm thinking to follow the suggestion in another thread and temporarily pinch off the wastegate hose (with a pressure gauge hooked up into the line so I can watch boost pressure while I'm driving) and see if that does anything.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm trying to get this turbo to spool up like the one on the 84 I had. Is turning up the wastegate the only turbo adjustment?
