test run 8psi???

the reason i removed it was because btwilson86 post this:

(If you are overboosting, then why do you want a boost controller? All they do is regulate the boost pressure going to the wastegate actuator, allowing you to boost higher. You can't "turn down" the boost pressure a turbo creates by adding a boost controller.

It sounds to me like maybe your wastegate is not opening either enough or at all. Is the vacuum line connected to the actuator? Is your downpipe interfering with the movement of the wastegate?)

So i went in to see if I had any leaks and if the down pipe was interfering with the waste gate but i was not and seeing I have the stock actuator and no cash right now for a boost controller I plan to install the old one to see if it helps to get me back to the old 8psi.
