With silencer in it holds 16 psi 'easy' driving and up to 19 psi when I step on it. So its still not constant level of boost I don know about the lenght of the lines... will check them out in the morning.

I was told before to port wastegate more.
Is there anybody here that could help me with that and how much would it cost me?

Have you stayed in it at all or have you simply pegged it, seen it shoot up past 20 and let off? I cannot recommend staying in it on some unknown boost level for obvious reasons, but if you've already done it at least you'd know if it was just a spike.
Yeah I know this thing suck. I lowered all the settings in profec to minimum and it will still boost (with open exhaust) like crazy. I dont think its spike - it will never go back to low level but then again I didnt stay in it that long, maybe like 2 - 3 sec for once and it will just keep to incerase

Thanks for your input Jordan
