Default GT2860RS making 14 PSI from internal wastegate?

I also posted this over @ miata, so sorry if you saw it there too...

Hey all,

Been working at tuning my setup for the last week or so.

The subject is a 1991 1.6 Miata w/ Begi 3 (2860RS) and running on a Link.

I have been making high boost just running from the internal wastegate, around 13-14 PSI.

I have adjusted the actuator rod as far as I can (lengthend the rod) and am still running around 14, thus rendering my boost control soleniod useless as I would like to be running 12 PSI due to the engine being stock.

Does it seem like the wastegate is faulty? I can't imagine that the setting should be that high, but I don't have much experience here.

Any help is appreciated.

wastegate might be failed, or is rated for high boost.

can you make it open at all from shooting air into the can?
