Default boost creep

So I've been posting alot lately asking for advice got another question . So I have a 3 lb wastegate spring in my gates now and it will just keep creeping up to about 7psi no wheel spin but I cam watch the gauge climb smoothly to it. Wastegates are in the flow path there dumbed to atmosphere. And just hooked up to the pressure source.

Spring rating need not correlate with what boost you're seeing.

wastegate spring isnt always the boost youll see, its a idea of what youll see

the entire combo will determine what boost youll see with said a 3lb spring that sees 7psi isnt a bad Psi

Ok that was me cutting out of it at about 5400 I got another file to load and will make another pull to 6 to see what happens. I just didn't wanna have a design flaw or something. Goal was to run a super low boost in 1st and then rise each gear even in third at 50mph rol and 7 psi not all the way tuned it just goes allover the damn place haha

He was running 7lb springs a few days ago and seeing constant 7-8psi of boost, and showing spikes of 8.9psi when tires would break loose... And now with 3lb springs he's still seeing 7+lbs.

Are You still running off straight spring pressure... Not using the boost controller?
