Default boost problems

I have a t3/to4b, revhard manifold, tial 38 wastegate set at 7 pounds with a hallman boost controller... My problem is that I hit about 9 psi and car tharts to sputters but I don't want it to hit 9. What could be wrong No vacuum leaks at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ah, maybe its your fuel managment?! Whatcha runnnin? You may need more fuel to compensate for the more air/psi... sounds like a f*cked up a/f ratio

agreed. you need to know your afr. before tuning, my car used to sputter on the highway cruising at 130kph because it was really rich.

This post makes no sense. You hit 9 psi but don't want to? Well, what do you want?
