    Some times i feel it has little power
    The turbo boost sits at 30 psi does not go over
    When it working like it should it gos up to 40 psi
    And it pulls great

    Is the check engine light on? I think when there is a code the ecm will de-rate and you will not make over 30psi of boost.

    When mine ate an exhaust sleeve I got erratic boost until it finally settled in at 28-30 psi. had to replace turbos.

    I got lucky a buddy of mine was building a sled puller out of his Acert and sold me his used ones for 1500.00 for everything mounts, pre-cooler, manifold everything. New one are around 4000.00 for just the turbos. There is a lot cheaper way to fix it. I'll send you a PM.
