wastegate stuck open or a bad leak, check for cracked hoses or loose clamps

trust me thats the first thing I said to him "its to much space to boost" I am going to bypass it tomarow and give that a shot I got him a smaller IC that would work great but NOOOO it had to be for looks....Owell I should be able to sway him another way besides the big ass IC

pull the turbo off and check for cracks in the wastegate passage, i had some trouble with that before, wouldn't go past like 9 psi, after fixing it, without a boost controller, it went up to liek 16 or so psi on the stock wastegate pressure, check that out, and as stated above, pre-turbo exhaust leaks pwn you
