Default Boost Leak?? Help Only getting 5psi to my Gauge

I got a 10 lb Wastegate spring in.... might i add that i have no boost controller(getting AEM TRU-BOOST next paycheck) anyway so i was testing my car and i cant get passed 5psi it cuts out at 5 too still on stock injectors 440's comming tomorrow. Think its fuel related... Im almost hitting rev limiter too 6k on stock LS ecu. It cuts out at about 5k. Think the injectors will make the difference? Or am i leaking boost some place cause i have a 10lb spring in.

Almost hitting the rev limiter at 6k? What engine management do you have?

Are you hiding positive pressure (boost) from the map sensor?

Herecomesboost: You have 1k posts, did you read the first post?

Horse, why you would try and boost on stock ECU?

A missing link is supposed to hide boost from the MAP, I think you need to research turbo related issues first before diving into it.

wow man. I can't believe the motor hasn't blown up yet. stock ecu, stock injectors, running boost. I would suggest stop running the motor into boost until you get something to tune with and bigger injectors at the very least. have you done much research for your project?
