Default *BOOST* Problem! Need help~

for some reason my car is fluxuating boost. It goes up to 7psi the down to 5psi and back up, and it keeps doing it. I've checked all my vacuum lines: no leaks. And my bov is almost completely hard. Anybody got any suggestions??

if the wastegate is set for 5psi, then 7 psi might just be the turbo spiking

What wastegate are you using?? I know the deltagate coes with springs that vary PSI, the tial on the other hand at .45 bar is 7.25lbs of boost basically.

I believe it's your wastegates. That's why everyone gets tial instead of delatgates. They have a poor design or they just have a sorry spring.

Definitely the wastegate, the springs are crap in the deltagates. At least you are having a problem not reaching full boost and not a problem with creeping or spiking.

Shut up queer. He is asking a real question and you have nothing helpful to say. Id be willing to be that the deltagate is your problem. I have heard nothing good about them.
