Default MAJOR SPIKE PROBLEMS!! HELP! :@

Well i hit up the dyno tonight for a tune.. what a waste of $$$. Hit about 340whp @ 15psi spiking...
Some runs would be a nice perfect curve.. then the next run it would spike to 17 with it set at 12psi.. it was all over the place sometimes!!!We had to stop tuning it because it was just all over the place with the spikes.. especially when it higher rpms and when vtec kicked in...
Any suggestions would be great.. im really thinking its my manifold

I'm positive it's your manifold. The drag manifold has poor wastegate placement (on one runner as oppose to all four runners)

I'm going to agree with you and say it's the manifold. I have a Drag manifold as well, and I have boost creep to 17psi with my boost controller set at 15psi. Try and find a manifold that pulls off all of the runners (Blox or InlinePro) instead of just one runner.

It's your manifold just like people are saying. I just got rid of mine....it wouldn't spike, but it would creep. That manifold is quite annoying.
