Re:wastegate/bov problem
is your wategate adjustable? if so, you should be able to fix it that way. If not, I don't know what the problem could be...but I bet you could fix it with a boost controller.
One more question...where is the vacuum line hooked from the BOV...it should hooked to intake manifold vacuum...

lol wastegate opens before BOV .... I thought the other HMT member would notice what he said.
the wastegate always opens before the bov...the wastegate controls boost and the BOV let's the air/boost go out of the charge pipe when taking your foot of the throttle...seems everything is working fine....your wastegate seem to be set at 4 psi, or you may have some leaks somewhere.

Re:wastegate/bov problem
sorry sem i worded it all wrong hehe. my wastegate flutters and is more audible then the bov. with the stock dsm bov i heard no wg sound at all i loosened and tightened the bov to see if it made a difference it did not.
by the way trie a boost controller of my friends today and no dice same problem!!! i'm stumped checked for leaks couldn't find any would it be safe to say accuator is bad?
