I did a thing.
It would appear it fixed the pulsating boost, but still no more than about 12psi.
For easy comparison, this is without WG wired log fro previous page, no other changes have been made.
WTF?

After thinking on this, with tommy, aaron and aidan, I decided it just has to be a boost leak(in combination with WG blwoing open). I took the BOV off and blew through the nipple. Absolutely 0 restriction lmao.
Im going to make a block off plate and go test, when I get a moment.

200+ kpa!!!!!!!
So it looks like I had 2 issues, WG blowing open, and obviously bad BOV diaphragm.
Was going to go with the kinugawa actuator, unless.... @18psi thoughts? Will probably rebuild the greddy bov.

Because when I wired it shut it stopped doing the pulsing boost thing?

edit- I suppose that could be a symptom of the boost leak?

it could still be the wg, but usually when it's blown open it just stays open
it likely stopped fluctuating cause it was just running ALLOFIT through the leak. that's a really good way to kill that turbo fast

Well i ordered a replacement diaphragm, and ill hold off on the WG until i see what it does without a boost leak.
If i still meed an actuator, kinugawa? Which spring would you choose to still keep a 10 to 12psi tune, but not have it blow open?
Fwiw, I ported the hell out of the waste gate.

no need to really have done that, those things don't creep cause they have microscopic hotsides
but it probably won't hurt
but yeah, I guess. or another stock one. they are pretty decent quality and work just fine

New diaphragm, 100% duty in EBC table, 4th gear(6spd)
need to work on VE a little in higher boost
10 psi tune with MBT ignition timing, 5th gear pull. I can probably get a little more spool if i set EBC to 100% until 10psi, instead of 40%. I need to do another WG only pull and see what it open up at now with everything fixed.

Thanks guys.
Havnt given a **** about tach until I had boost fixed, so that is the next thing ill do. Was it you asking for the fix because you have similar issues?

I should be installing my LS coils this weekend so I will be faced with the tach issues. Since you are on MS2 it's much more analogous to my DIYPNP than an MS3 is. I don't want to install some aftermarket tach if I don't have to.

Yea im on 3, theres no reason it wont work with the stock tach (any MS) just need to get it to output a clean signal. Im guessing its getting pulled down by the tach or something and it needs a resistor inline instead of being directly connected to the collector of the transistor. I have a game plan, just need time.
