At this stage the turbo/boost is already maxed, 17psi. 5th gear is even worse. It just seems like turbo runs out of play, it's already spinning it's gaskets off and just can't push any further.
    And once again, another time, identical scenario, and she will be a rocket...

    I'm curious though, aim of the boost setup is to have roughly 10 psi at 100km/h? Is this on a flat road? Cruising?
    Cruising on the hwy mate in 5th....

    so is the turbo stuffed or not?
