You most definitly have the vaccume lines hooked up wrong.. most boost contolers are made so if the solinoid fail it will go to the min boost of the wastgate or actuator...

there is only two vacum. one to the upper intake manifold, which is the reference? and the other vacum connected to the nipple of the wastgate from the boost controller. we tried everything it still over boost, what else could it be? maybe the wastegate is bad?

Ok.. you run a vaccume hose from the intercooler pipe before the intercooler to the side of the wastgate... Now run run a seperate hose from the intercooler pipe before the inercooler to the boost controler solinoid in side then from the out side to the top of the wastgate... and you run a seperater one from the intake manifold to the boost sensor.... So you should have 3 hoses...
