I bet that "ghette cat back" was too restrictive.
Boost is also relative to engine load.
1st gear pull is not going to have as much boost as a 5th gear pull.
In general, the turbo starts to make positive pressure in the 2,500RPM range.
The twin scroll acutator kicks in at around 2,800RPM.
It should be making full boost by 4kRPM.
S5 turbo can make positive boost as low as 2,000RPM.

Second, I have an 80mm Corksport DP and MP I just installed (to see if cat clogging was the culprit to my boost woes.) and I was wondering if the RB Rev TII Y pipe and Rev TII dual exhausts would bolt up to my configuration. I love the sound of the RB units and was curious if I could save money by just having them bolt up to my current configuration instead of also having to buy the RB DP and MP also.

I'd be surprised if it does.
The "Rev" spec exhaust is supposed to be proprietary, so it doesn't match with any of the stock "breaks".
