I pu tmy new turbos in a week or so ago and a couple days ago, I put in a needle/bleeder valve in the wastegate control line...I think thats the right line...its the one where you are supposed to install a boost controller. (I was overboosting like crazy before about 15-20 psi...of course not WOT...as I was testing it) now I get hardly any transition to the second turbo...if at all it happens around 5k rpm and then drops to about 5 or 6 psi and fluctuates between 5 and 6 (and the car gets kind of jerky...but im not even close to fuel cut??). I checked all the lines to make sure they were connected right and they appear to be...is it possible that I did not bolt them in correctly? or what??



my mods are:

Intake, downpipe, and cat-back. Have PFC but waiting on my tuner so I dont blow my car up...



Thanks for any advice,

Sean

there are two nipples on the wastegate actuator... make sure that the nipple that is pointing towards the engine (has a hose going to the boost control solenoid) is capped off, and make sure that the hose that used to be on the nipple is plugged also.
