Anyway I now have the turbo connected just to the wastegate and I'm boosting 9.5! I know that I will lose pressure thru the fmic but my spring rates at 10.15psi anybody have any idea? Could I be losing .65 thru fmic?

Is that a serious question? Yes, you are losing it through the IC. You will always lose pressure through the IC and piping. No, there is no way to avoid it. Turn the boost controller up to make up for the losses, not that .65psi is that big of a loss on your setup. Either turn it up or deal with the loss.

Man you seem to be the only one! I heard that it should not lose that much. I will put t bolt clamps on to see if that helps.

tell em jago. but really, york always going to lose pressure somewhere inbetween your turbo and your throttle. there is just too much space to fill to not lose pressure. but its hardly a significant amount and if you adjusted for it you probably wont even be able to tell you fixed it. dont worry about it.

Okay I was outside today and something told me to look under my car so I did. And I see alittle oil(one drip) coming out of the wastegate pipe? What does this mean? I haven't drove it in 2days. It did rain 2 days ago and I drove it hours after it stop around the block just to keep battery charged. I have low tension rings could this be the reason that oil is getting passed them and going thru my turbo and wastegate when open?

If you don't understand how a turbo works, it shouldn't be on your car, period..
also, kill yourself.
