Interesting. I'll try that.

My main question here is what boost were you hitting with the stock TMIC?
|
According to my ap it's hitting the same peak pressure and holding the same boost as with the stock tmic. I never had a chance to datalog before the install so I wouldn't know with regard to ecu explorer.

this could point to a poorly designed IC.

It is a TurboXS knockoff and many others have had success with it, especially after tuning, though maybe I got a bad apple..
What it seems is going on is that yes, the ecu is having to adjust quite a bit to cope with it but there is probably a boost leak going on. I can't get past the fact that my turbo got so much louder under boost when no one else's did.
The other people I refer to are here:
