tonight on the highway:
starting 2000rpm 4th gear - floored it - 16psi at 3500rpm. I noticed a sputtering sound a couple of times at full boost.

If your headers are original, they are cracked - simple as that. For any genius who will say, "well, mines ain't cracked", they are cracked under the heat shields, where you can't see it without a cutoff wheel.
You are losing significant power with a leak. The best part of the small turbo is the area under the curve. If I was going to build a stock racer, I would concentrate on tuning the 1 bar spoolup down to 2500.
Let me see how low I can get it on Turbox's car - I am thinking 2300.....muhahahaha
