My wastegate has a 9.7# spring but the car never makes more then 5.5

When I put my palm upto my BOV while idling it sucks it to it really tight. This easily explains where my 4#'s of boost is going, right?

turn the bov all the way hard and see what happens. you sure it's sucking not blowin out a little?

I have another bov on another pipe I'm gonna test tomorrow.

And yea it is sucking. It's like a vacuum when you put your hand against it so I'd assume that under pressure it's just blowing air right out.

AT idle the BOV should open but it doesnt suck in air

where is your wastegate vacuum source? what size intercooler do you have?

wastegate is hooked up to about a foot and a half infront of the throttle body.

36" intercooler (Ithink, been a while). If the new bov doesnt fix the problem I'll be taking the intercooler off next and just putting a pipe in its place to see if that works.

Changed to 1g dsm BOV, still only making 6#'s.
