Ok so i installed a 14b on my eclipse last weekend and i have a 98 gst..anyhow i have a apexi avcr boost controller. If i shut the avcr off my turbo hits 8 psi. So anyhow if i turn the boost up i set it at about 13-14 and its fine. Now heres my problem in 4th and 5th gear i floor it and the turbo hits 14 psi than it bounces down to 10 than 14 than to 7 PSI!! is the waste gate not staying open? theres no bent fins theres no shaft play and the turbo boosts strong in the lower gears. I'm just lookin for some kind of answers im already gonna check for boost leaks on tuesday but that wouldnt cause me to lose all pressure and go down to 8 psi in the higher gears would it??? hrmm any ideas would be nice
