i have been trying to get my car running correctly since i have bought it in febuary, but this is baffling me,

to start my mods are listed in my profile(except my turbo back exhaust all 3 inch and i have a cat for now. the issue is my car is over boosting bad, i cant go WOT without it sputtering a bucking, ok thats the symptom.

as far as i know the turbo is stock, i have tried to put a MBC on it and turn the boost all the way down, for some reason it didn't work, so a friend thought we should put it on static waste-gate pressure.(the hose now goes from the turbo to the waste gate) and it still over boosts.

i think i have solved the fuel problem, but i am not sure, the book i have on my car says the fuel pressure regulator should be around 26-28 PSI, when i put my vacuum tester on it was reading 9.3 PSI, so i did more checking and i think either my fuel pump is bad or i have clogged lines, not sure how to check for a clog without talking the lines off the car.

so my question is does anyone have any idea about these issues, thanks in advance

no really guys, i need help,
 
Have you tried another waste gate actuator?

Do a vaccume test on the actuator and verify that it's opening.
 
The free flowing 3 inch turbo back exhaust will cause creep on a not modded turbo..

The 1g manual fuel pressure should be 26-28psi..Have you replaced the fuel filter since you have bought the car..A little maintenence goes a long way..
