So I adjusted my wastegate down as much as I could to try to lower boost. I turned my overboost on to 255kpa. Got on the throttle a few times and ended up hitting 253kpa. ******* chinese waste gate. I want a nice 10psi for now so that I can actually do a WOT pull until redline. Fuel in boost is fine, actually a little richer then it needs to be.

So I had a little time to finally look at it. The waste gate does not open. It is apparently getting stuck on something on the down pipe. So probably Monday I will put the car back on jack stands and pull off the turbo and figure out why. It makes me sad, although 21PSI was fun.

I will see if I can get it all off tomorrow afternoon before I head to the track. I am working out at CMP this weekend so most likely will not really have a chance to fix it until Monday.

Well hurry up and get building. Maybe if I send you some 6 packs of beer to your work it will help speed you up.
This sound like I could break something. Maybe I will just bust out the sawzall.

Or I just pull the turbo off which will probably be more of a bitch.

Just for clarification: When I saw my waste gate is not opening I mean the flapper will not open into the DP. The flapper moved fine when it was off the car, so I think it is hitting something in the DP and causing it not to open.
