Do you have a 10psi wastegate spring? If not, did you get the boost controller (and is it on)?

it depends on what spring is in there. if you have a 5lb spring and turn the boost controller all the way down you will have 5lbs tops and if you already get 5 psi in first then you will still see 5 psi in first. i would turn the boost controlle all the way down and run it to see where you stand on just the spring. then turn it up a hair at a time and run it between each turn to see what it does. and stop when ou get to the level you want to kep it at.

Maybe an 8 pound spring?
Mine has a 3 PSI spring, no boost controller yet. WOT it will get as high as 6-6.5 psi. My guess is the wastegate is not big enough to keep the boost down to 3....but I don't really know.
I'm hoping the boost controller will go in this weekend (along with TR6's).

Speaking of which, everyone enjoy the long weekend!!

i have a 6-7lb spring, and i dont see any higher than that in any gear. When pinned it will hold 7psi through all the shifts. Weird that it would jump up so much in 3rd gear.
