First off, where does the 3rd line go to on the tee you installed? Also, what kind of car, what engine, and what turbo? You profile needs to be updated.
 
its a 91 gsx, 4g63 w00t, the t is in the in the middel of the line going from bov to the fuel presser solenoid... and the bottom of the t is runing to the WG ooohh and its bone stock with the 14b
 
your car is fine, just buy a joeP, works great for me. your wastegate actuator opens up when it receives about 8-10lb. when you put a boost controller on your car, it limits how much air gets to the wastegate actuator, so when you turn down your boost controller, you make it harder for air to get to the wastegate actuator, so you will have to make more boost then 8-10lb to get to the actuator. hope that makes sense.

becuase the line you tee'd off with also see's boost so your wastegate responds by opening. :rolleyes:

The line should go from the Intake manifold to the bov, not from fp solenoid to bov. Install the t between the IM and bov and run the third leg to the wg actuator. As far as only seeing 10 psi, that is about right on the 14b with the wg hooked directly to a boost source without the stock boost solenoid hooked up. Actually, Ive seen anything from 9psi to 11 psi on the stock wg actuator. Just get a decent mbc and have fun.
