Default Help! My setup is overboosting..

Nothing seems to be missing or disconected. Basically, my EBC has several boost level settings. no matter where i set it, even off wastegate spring, it overboost.

What could be the cause?

hum maybe your boost controler is faulty or you have developed a leak in one of the lines going to the wastegate.

Have you tried to run the wastegate by itself (i.e. eliminating the electronic boost controler)?
