Post Forge WG Actuator vs Stock - More Boost!

Street Tuned Motorsports (STM) recently installed a brand new AWD Mustang Dyno very close to where I live and convenient for anyone in the Western New York area. I decided to take advantage of their first dyno day even if it was only 20F outside at the time. It was a perfect opportunity to get a good baseline of the car in it's current state and see what the minor changes made since last year have done. The only mods that would effect power were a Forge WG Actuator and an ACT Streetlite Flywheel. Mods that may reduce power were 275/30-19 Pirelli P-Zero Nero Tires mounted on 19x9.5 wheels which was a combo slightly heavier than stock but with quite a bit more grip. Yes that is still some snow in the background, luckily the roads were still dry that day!



Overall the car is quite a bit fun to drive on the streets and the boost does hold a solid 25 PSI til 5500 RPM where the stock turbo runs out of flow and tapers quickly to 19 PSI by Redline. You can see in the Dyno pulls that the Forge Wastegate Actuator helps deliver more power in the mid range but still can't help the peak HP numbers at all. Overall I'm happy that the heavier wheels and tires didn't adversely effect straight line performance and the mid range torque is quite a bit better with the higher boost. Some Tweaks can be made in the AFR department as the 4000-6500 range seems to be as low as 10.8:1 instead of my desired 11.5:1 but that will be taken care of when I upgrade the Turbo.



I'm still comparing dyno sheets from FP Red combos to a full 35R turbo kit with my goal to be able to run low to mid 11's on pump gas and maybe high 10's if I drive the car hard on race gas. I think 400 WHP will do the trick on these Mustang "heartbreaker" dynos but I may have to add cams to the list along with a Fuel pump, 800-1000CC injectors, and Turbo Kit. The Dyno overlays aren't 100% accurate due to the different scaling and filtering used but they are close enough to be useful.

Here is a video of some of the dyno runs made that day, including a 4th gear pull I did on the third run.

If anyone knows a way to limit the image width for JPG's posted in the forums I'll reduce the huge dyno plot to make this easier to read on smaller displays. Thanks!

At what pressure does the Forge actuator activate?
Also at what pressure does the OEM actuator activate?
