I had originally put a stage 2 wga on the car to upgrade from the stock. well after messing around with it and i thought it wasn't boosting right (kept trying to over boost) i changed back to the stock. Thinking that would solve my problem well it didn't. The stock one is wanting to over boost as well not as bad as the stage 2 but still presses 20psi.

i'm thinking maybe i have a small hole or something in one of my lines? boost leak somewhere? i'm not sure what is typical of a boost leak.

You did something wrong with your vacuum lines. Boost leak is when you loose pressure because its escaping through a coupler or something like that. If you are over boosting, you did something wrong with your lines going to the wastegates.

you think maybe the line going to the WGA could have a small hole in it? I have a manual boost controller hooked up to it from needswings. it worked fine before i tried to swap out. the original T that you use from needswings got melted cause i am running with the upper heatshield off. I since then bought a metal T fitting and installed that. i have each end of the lines tightened down with clamps.

i'm thinking since the MBC opens up and lets air out of the WGA to make it boost more then maybe i have a hole in the line somewhere that i can't see. i have the MBC closed so no air should be getting through.

ok, if your getting too much boost then somewhere in that line thers a leak. I had a problem with the signal for my RRFPR. It was completly torn, but right on where the clamp is where you couldnt see. I would just replace all the lines, and put on new clamps if I were you, thats if your not finding any leaks.
