I’m running these (17T) as well for 3 days now. Tune is from Ken and pushing 20 psi (E30 mix) on the base map. Tried E50 as well but without succes, rail pressure drops to 800psi wich results in a cyl #6 misfire.

Spool is great till redline without any lag and or rattle.
To be sure I’ve checked the balance prior to install.
And actually they were pretty bad according to the balancer. They have made 3 runs and a lot of adjustments to get to the final results.

See attachment for the results

Did you contact the garage who installed it and left the gasket sitting outside?

It does look like the oil feed line gasket is either missing or it's not tight enough, are you getting any smoke out the exhaust?

Is that a exhaust manifold gasket just chilling there not in its rightful place? If a shop did this install I would re-check everything.

I’ve contacted the garage and they said that the mechanic most likely lost this gasket and took another one for installation. If one of the ports didn’t had a gasket you would clearly hear and smell it, which sounds plausible.
On the other hand it would be quite strange that this gasket would balance on the core all the time.
Tomorrow the car will go on the lift for inspection, I’ve got a borescope to check the oil feed line.
Until now I haven’t noticed smoke out of the tail pipes during decel or WOT.
