I'm running increased boost and notice that turbo spool up to stock boost (10.5 PSI) is VERY fast but spool past that is rather slow. I'm wondering if my stock recirc valve spring is to blame or if this is normal behavior for the stock S turbo? Do you who run increased boost notice drastically slower boost building past 10.5 PSI? Any fix? Thanks?

Could it be the stock charge piping leaking past stock boost levels?
