so yesterday was the first day I got to drive my eclipse more than 2 miles st once and I noticed my boost gauge was reading 25psi and I was like oh shit so I pulled over and me and my friend tuned down my manual boost controller all the way down it read 12psi which made sense because 10psi is stock and 2psi is added when u remove the boost solenoid?( correct if I’m wrong) well I drive it for about 2 hours just happy that I can finally drive it then as the night went on the car started performing worse and worse so we checked the boost gauge again (it was night time and the lights aren’t wired in yet) and I was hitting 25psi again so we thought that maybe the controller turns itself up but it was still turned all the way down so I looked it up and I’m pretty sure I have boost creep because I have a 3inch turboback exhaust which is probably causing it. I have a freshly rebuilt t25 turbo in it and I don’t wnna ruin it but I also don’t want to drop the turbo to make the wastegate bigger so I started researching and in my chilton manual there is a diagram of the turbo and there is a little hole in the turbo next to the intake (I’ll take a picture) that is just open and the picture in the chilton says it T’s off of the line that goes into the wastegate and that line is the manual boost controller. So I’m totally lost rn is there a vacuum line issue or is my wastegate just not big enough and I’m going to have to drop the turbo I’m not very mechanicaly inclined and this turbo wastegate stuff is kind of confusing to me so what do u guys think is the problem
Thanks in advance if u read that wall of words
