Are u sure this is a boost controller related problem??
Did you just switch from a manual one?
There isn't really much to the profec b, just turn ****, set to desired boost level and it works.

Is the internal wastegate "mod" the one in the instructions? Is this with the Spec II?

the internal wastegate mod is where you turn the actuator screw in to up the boost , people do that who dont have boost controllers that want to up the boost


yes this is the spec 2

Make sure you have taken the default 10% GAIN out first.

Then go from there.
I had a .4 bar spring and was running very steady at .8 bar all day with the Spec II. There isnt a single problem with the controller!

you might have a problem elsewhere. i had boost creep bad form 8psi spring with no controller it creeped to 12psi. i had a bad exhaust leak from a crack in the back of my manifold. i had to mig weld all the cracks up and now it will steadily boost 8 psi. this might not be your problem but this is what i've experienced with boost creep problems.

you should have seen my dyno plot with that profec B. it went crazy, we had it set at like 10 psi and it was bearable. when we tried to go up just to 11psi, it went crazy and was creeping to 1 bar +. the option of high boost / low boost is great, but the mbc has worked best for me (performance wise)
