i found a extra tapped hole in the compressor housing but not sure if that will filter that much boost

its your internal wastegate.I bet the spring inside is worn out. Same thing happened to me on my t3. It was only boosting like 2-3, so im using a boost controller to regulate the boost. My internal waste spikes alot, so ill be converting to external soon.
