Yeah I'd toss that MBC if your running the Deltagate. just last weekend I was running the same setup and spiked 15 psi due to the MBC. Deltagates don't like boost controlers for some reason.

why does it go up to like 7lbs then drop down to 5lbs in every gear? should i buy a new wg or change my boost controller?

when i took out the turbo controller, it stayed at 5psi in every gear, so does that mean my wg is not compatible with the mbc, or should i get a new wg, or new controller or new both?

ive always had problems with those mbc's, spikes and boost would never be steady. i would get another spring for that wastegate(im not sure if you can just swap out your spring or you will need a new wastegate). anyhow if you do get another mbc get a good top quality one, not a cheapy.

did u try the different vaccum setup?
