Default Boost spike

So i hooked up my new 48/60 on my d16 and i had to kinda pound in the wastegate a little bit to get it to fit and also i had to shave the wastegate down. When i did this i cut a little part of the wastegate open. Then i welded it back shut and put jb weld over it. I dont think i let it dry long enough though so there could still be a hole. It was rated to 10lbs and now it will go up to 15 and higher but im not going anyfaster when it does this. Can you tune my car colin?

You do know JB weld melts at like 200* right? And your exhaust is 1000* ++

You dont need a tune, you need a clue lol

Yes there is a line from the wastegate to the cold side then t`s to the rest of the system. No boost controler though. I would think the more it boosts the faster it should be but when it gets higher then 10lbs it seems to slow down. Is my flapper all nigged up? Should i weld shut and just buy an external?

wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a new internal? but also remember u will need a new manifold to put that external on.
