I did a few runs the other night to see what kind of boost I was getting. Well after the first run it showed 1.1 on the Power FC. I don't really think that was 100% accurate though, also my boost gauge seems a little flaky, so I couldn't tell for sure. Well, I go to turn down the boost a little and duplicate my first run. I get a 1.2 this time! After that I turned the boost down a significant amount and still pulled around 1.05. It was pretty cold outside so maybe it was just spiking?

The car is running non-seq and is tuned for 16psi on pump gas.

Make sure that you capped off the drivers side nipple on the wastegate actuator. If you didnt or if the cap cracked or blew off. You wont be able to build enough pressure to get the wastegate to open and vent off boost.
