The Dip in the power is the pesky Drive by wire throttle control closing the throttle down as maximums are being reached in the ecu maps. We should have this issue fixed and the maps rescaled shortly. Its part of RD on making power like this. Its a challenge but I am up to the task. To get us this far I have placed a Diode on the MAP sensor to trick the ecu into thinking its only seeing 1.0 bar instead of the 1.2-1.3 the car is producing. Its an old trick I used for years. Obviously I cant suggest out customers do this as it removes safety features and it makes the in car Boost gauge read 1.0 max. However, It was a part of RD to disable these systems in a closed environment. The true fix is to hit the keyboard and program this out which will be completed soon.
If anyone has a question I am here to help.

SMR, I guess you dont understand the concept. By removing the factory internal wastegates, you are increasing exhaust flow. Putting in a new spring in the stock or aftermarket internal wastegates will not produce the same results.

unfortunately they will not. They are internal wastegates that simply take give them a 1.0 bar of boost. Still using the same path of exhaust flow which is restrictive. These are great to replace your factory ones to get more boost, but are a different product then what we have.

These are the Ultimate wastegates your referring too. Looks awesome and does the job for what they are accomplishing, but again does a different trick then the external. These are super clean though!

Then you need to lear how this thing work..
When the WG are closed all exhoust gased are hitting the turbine wheel, so there are never going to give you anymore HP with a differnt WG, but the stock wg ar to weak so the blow up from the backpresure, and then you will have some exhousts that escapte that way, and you lose some performance..
