Default Why am I boosting high?

Hey guys, it's time to get rolling and I have one last issue. I'm boosting high. (gauge is reading about 11PSI) Could my wastegate be stuck? I have a TurboXS boost controller, and it's shut all the way. I have an IHI turbo out of a Ford Probe(Mazda MX6's also came with them). I have the chance to get a new wastegate tonight for $25, but I want to make sure it's that.

Any, and all help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Goldfingiz

I know it's only $25...I'm going to get it regardless, but I figured it would be good to know what else it could possibly be.

If you have the boost controller adjustment screw completely tightened this is why you are running too much boost. You want the adjustment screw on the boost controller to be out as far as possible for it to not interfere with the boost signal.
