begi turbo kit bouncing off boost
I have a 99 turbo miata with a begi turbo kit and Xede piggyback tune. i had a supposedly 10 pound spring in wastegate but when i flooored it id get 15 or more psi and start pinging loike a mf, switched it with an 8 pound spring now it hits 8 pounds then falls back then does this multiple times and if i keep my foot in it, it will hit 10 psi but it never holds it... just keeps pulling back, is this a tuning issue or wastegate issue? i was also told my wastegate is on ba ckwards and i am looking for confirmation from one of you, the exaust is a FM kit so i dont believe theres any backpressure but theres no boost leaks that i could find..im thinking its tune related. i have a video of it but im not sure how to upload videos. thank you all

Sounds like a boost leak
You can build something like this to test for leaks
Cap off the cold side charge pipe where it would normally connect to the throttle and use that^ on the turbo inlet to pressurize the system. Listen around for leaks.

The diverter is the valve between the intake and the pipe between the IC and TB. The vac signal for this valve should be taken from the intake manifold, after the TB.
