Overboosting
My truck keeps overboosting, and i cant figure out why.
I'm gonna apply some psi to the wastegate tonight to see if its hanging up. but i dont think so, cause it moves pretty freely.
Its overboosting at WOT, around 14psi, any less throttle, and it runs fine.
The reason might be becuase i dont have a cat on it...

my wastegate is set for around 12psi. but my chip can read up to 17. more if i add meth injection.
i have no cat for performance... but i believe for turbos, a cat is used to protect from overboosting, so i think thats my problem.
