I dont think it is the manifold either. It appears it was my fault


Kevin or myself will update this thread in a few days when I get a chance to work on his car. I have a feeling the spoolup will be much better.
I wont leave you guys hanging, we had some fitment issues with the wastegate hitting the subframe with the kit. So I had to remove the wastegate from the manifold to drop the engine back in the car(we removed the engine to reseal the oil pan). I dont remember installing the valve seat that comes with the Tial BOV. We had to put on and take the wastegate off several times and it appears I never installed the valve seat that helps seal up the wastegate/manifold v-band connection. I will reinstall it in a couple days(hopefully have time) and we will report back. Kevin got his hands on about 5 other 500r dyno charts and they were all seeing 14-16lbs at about 43-4400 which is about 1k rpms sooner than Kevin.
