Well I have my new turbo on and for some reason the boost just wont stay at 10 psi from the wastegate. The turbo is a big 16g and I have the vacuum off of the wastegate ran to the intake manifold. When ever I get on it it will just boost up to 16psi where I have it set to shut off on hondata. The wastegate is suppose to stop at 10 according to where I bought it at. Any ideas on why it wont stop at 10? And this setup is the same as my previous setup. Only difference is that the turbo is ported and I am not running a boost controller this time until I get a new one.

maybe a line is pinched or kinked
i just put my friends turbonetics boost controller on and i am running a stock big16g wastegate. i tried running it again and it still just jumps off until it hondata shuts it down. I am hoping to get this fixed soon cuz its the last thing on the list as of now.
agreed ^^^^^^....take the boost controller out and test it ....
in the first post i stated i was running off of the wastegate alone. and i just put on a boost controller because i was told the wastegate might be too small for the turbo. with the boost controller on it is still overboosting and I am out of ideas. I am going to check every vacuum line again today just to do it cause im clueless.
Oh and if i hold it down from 16lbs it runs like it did before. It isnt running weird at all just wont hold the psi down.

that wastegate shouldnt be to small for that turbo....otherwise it wouldnt be connected to the turbo.....
maybe the boost controller is turned up to higher than 16psi.....try turning the boost controller down if your that worried about the wastegate being to small....

did you try running just the wastegate.....with no boost controller? how does it run?
well i got a new problem now. the last couple days i have been jumping the starter to get my car starting cuz the starter randomly quit working. today i pull up to my house and shut it off. come back a hour later and it wont jump or anything. it just turns over like it is getting no spark which it is cuz i checked. any ideas what would cause this crazy crap.
yea im betting one of the lines are either f'd up or you have it hooked up wrong....
