.9 is ~ 13-14 psi.

My bad... He said he hit 15 and was off the throttle... Maybe it wasn't 15.

That line is supposed to be connected to the LIM just under the fuel rail.

I don't think that it has anything to do with overboosting though.

I would think that it would cause loss in boost pressure if anything. I don't think that line runs to the wastgate.

Do you have the "out" nipple on the wastegate actuator capped off?

After installing a boost controller you are supposed to cap the other line on the acctuator for the wastegate. If you dont the wastegate wont be able to open.
