wastegate problem

[tbehling]

on my way home tonight my car seemed a little wierd.... it was about 4 degrees outside and my car usually acts up in the cold.. but it was really wacked tonight... i was crusin on the highway doing about 55, i went to pass someone and i looked down at my boost gauge and the needle climbed right over 20 all the way up to 25 so i quickly let off the gas.. i have no boost controller to worry about. so my boost is usually right about 16 psi, it seems like my wastegate actuator is not working, i checked the vaccum hoses going to the turbo and they are all on... any suggestions?

Colder air is thicker air, so you'll have more boost out of it. What mods?

injen intake, downpipe. full exhaust..

i think i have a leak in one of my vaccum hoses running to the wastegate actuator..
putting that on tonight.. see we'll see
