    Yes I was expecting this as well. But I was hoping the converter would let me boost until I find the perfect match converter for that size turbo. Ideally you want the big power in the back, not the front. Now my front engine is more powerful and that makes no sense. I will try it like that for now.

    The turbos are switched. I will have to retune both setups now so lots of testing tomorrow before a real pass. It rained all day so I did as much testing in the rain that I could but with no load (low traction), it's hard to get the boost control right.

    If I were you, to prevent all that work, I would have just set up an antilag switch on the rear motor to pull timing way down to spool the turbo.

    I already switched the turbos around. But going to the track only Friday, it's raining today.
    But yes an antilag timing map in the low RPM full throttle range would help.

    So far it seems the swap is just right. The 6262 spools about the same up front then the small GTX3076R in the back. So I can brake boost both at the same time which makes it easier to launch.
