Default Re: 14B MAX RPM boosting???

I unplugged my wastegate and It failed to boost like I thought a open wastegate should. the spool time was
awful and the PSI dropped of a pound or two then with my mbc. Cold the problem be that My wastegate is a piece
of ----? Is it possible that air is leaking past the flapper and thats why I'm the seeing these results? I think that I am going
to try and put some washers between the base of the wastegate and the compressor house to pull the rod tighter
and see what happens.

It's the fookin wastegate. I put three washers to one side under the wastegate to space it out and just tightened that one side down and it boosted uber fast. Then I knew I was on the right track then, so i took and tried to put 1 washer
per side but after making a couple of passes that mfer was hot as ---- so I was only able to get on 1 washer. The results were that I ended up plugging the wastegate back into the compressor housing and it is producing as follows.
1st--------6-7 PSI to infinity rpm now!
2nd ------6-7
3rd--------7-8
4th--------7-8
5th--------8-9.
Finally it's carring the RPMs to past 5k and to redline like it should. Haluah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a pain in my *** but at least I found out wtf was going on.


Thanks guys for all of the brainstorming Ideas!!!!
