I think you just need a better boost controller. I think most aftermarket waste gates dont even open untill 15+ psi. What boost controller do you have now?

turbo xs the high performance one. I bought it used not sure if it might be as good as it used too be do boost controllers go bad?

are you sure you have the controller hooked up right? from what I understand, the design was backwards and the flow direction was opposite from what the company says. Try switching your lines around, build into boost carefully and see how it reacts

yeah I will try that I'll just set over boost protection around 9 psi too be safe

set the wastegate to 0 if possible and run straight boost controller, that would be the best bet, considering the wastegate could be malfunctioning in some odd way.

what BOV? I have the SARD R2D2, loud as hell, up there with the RFL. The HKS SSQ doesn't leak due to the self adjusting valve.
