It is interesting that were was no boost cut with your boost limit and delay time values.
Some cars have a problem like this where they overboost like that with the positive error correction #'s in, but it is very very rare, at least from what I have seen. Usually it is from too high of WGDC #'s.
Bryan - I used some values that you posted for WGDC - you said that it had you holding 20.5 psi.
With these values I am only getting ~15 PSI. Could this be an indication of a boost leak does every car take different numbers?
I turned up WGDC 10 units and got an increase in boost off about ~2 psi.
Thanks

If you're BDEL is pretty spot on you could possibly boost less in lower gears.

Which settings did you use, what are your mods and what solenoid and/or pill size?
I have a GM solenoid, no pills.
Turbo Back, IC pipes, Intake, 02 Housing, FMIC.
MAP numbers from ZT2 boost sensor.
I am now using the following map.

I am now using the following map.
First off, I would get your boost control tables actually dialed in. 159 across in BDEL and flat WGDC is not using Ecu-boost to it's fullest potential.
If you have the means, I would do a boost leak test just to take that out of the equation. Then set up your tables correctly. Should start to look something like this:

Numbers will be different for your application but the 'curves' should look the same.
I am just beginning to tune the GM solenoid. I plan on setting up my BDEL and TBEC later but I have zeroed it out like you suggested in another post.
I have done a boost leak test and I did not find any leaks however I did have air coming out of my valve cover (Due to valve seals I think). There for it was difficult to tell for sure if I had a leak.
I was justing wondering if it is normal to have these values in WGDC for the level of boost, this is by no means my final tune for boost control.

For the stock turbo it's pretty close, maybe a little high. What does 65% WGDC give you PSI wise at 7000 rpm?
Do you have a full pull logged?
