I have a 6 bolt with ported 2g exhaust mani and a ported 2g o2 housing then going to straight 3" exhaust. FMIC (ebay style) and a fresh rebuilt small 16g.
We put on a manual boost controller that was on the lowest setting.
When we drove it, it overboosted, like 23 psi!! It only seems like it stopped there because of fuel cut.
I made sure the WG arm moves freely and verified the actuator opens the WG right around 10 psi.
Next, we connected the WG actuator directly to source at the comressor outlet.
It still over boosts beyond 20 psi
Any ideas at this point would be great as the only thing we haven't tried it to wire the WG open and recheck it. Could a small 16g flow more than the internal WG can handle? Do I need to move up to a bigger o2 housing?
There is no binding in the actuator or arm, as we put pressure to it while connected on the car.
