If you have an internal wastegate and a manual boost controller your boost will NOT be consistent. An electronic one tuned is the only way to not spike and hold consistent boost. I definetly recommend getting one.

No matter what your boost gauge shows you.. go to the dyno and get a pressure source hooked up and get a print out of your boost graph. You will be shocked.

well all of that turning up the boost and getting a custom tune is in the long run, for right now i just have to focus on getting a boost gauge and actually getting to drive my car.. this has been a bad week since my cars wiring was all jacked up..

so they rewired everything he did the ignition wiring the first time arong and turned the motor on and it shut off.. he realized the problem and rewired the ignition wiring to go in firing order.. he turned the motor on and it shut down.. they rechecked and said that the wiring was all correct.. so monday i have to go back to Sean Church and see if he can fix it.. i'm in the worst of all moods..
