Well I found out what the problem is. For some reason when we weld the wastegate back into the main exhaust it IS causing the wastegate not to work right way to much back pressure. It took that pipe off and it work like a champ Loud be it works, Thank God. Now does anyone or can you guys post up some pics of how and where you have your wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust, Thats what I need to do now. Maybe move it more down stream of the exhaust. Please help me with some pics. And thanks for all the input to help find my problem.

On another note, have you broken the engine in well before boosting it? I have no experience here personally, but I would want to make extra sure my rings have seated well before pressurizing the cylinders.

piston rings seat better with some boost
