20 psi!?

[XxSiRhCy6PxX]

ok this is my problem. i installed my uicp with a 1g bov this morning, took it for a test drive too see if my boost changed cuz of the bov and YES it did i was boosting fine at 14 psi with my stock bov and now im boosting 20?! what could be the deal here? my knob is practically out of my joe p mbc and still didnt change? any ideas to why its spiking that high? i notice that the 1g bov was harder to push open then my stock bov. probably 2 times harder. took me some muscle just to make it budget. could that be the case?


thanks..

if my wastegate is stuck open can i do something to fix it?

If your wastegate was stuck open you would build no boost, your wastegate isn't opening, that is your problem.

i think im better off putting my stock bov and uicp back on until i have the money to buy a new wastegate or hopefully a new turbo, christmas is around the corner so im tight on money. thanks for those who helped out.
