i have my wastegate connected back to the turbo outlet pipe...i heard it is best to run it back to the intake manifold... i have fmic and the stock wategate should be set at 8.5 psi? correct and if the boost level hits the fmic i should lose pressure drop....but how am i still reading 8psi of boost? my boost gauge is hooked up to the im also. anyhelp thanks.

 

your blow off valve should be between the compresor house outlet and the throttle body. the wastegaste should be between the exhast ports of your engine and the the exhaust wheel inlet on the turbo. closer to the exhaust wheel inlet the better. please adjust accoringly
