Default Is It Time For A Bigger Turbo?

Hey i just got done with a dyno day this last weekend and i put 401HP and 873 ft. lbs. when i ran but i figured it would get alittle more out of it since the guys with less mods were running right about the same. Im pretty sure i am running to much fuel for the turbo that i have right now and i was just wondering if that is whats keeping my numbers down. Thanks

X2 w/ the wastegate. Could try and pinch the hose and see what that does.
