Well I used 2 different autometer guages..(debated which looked betta).. and they both said same thing 20psi all the way til redline..
If you are using a MBC,there is a little "wastegate reset" hole, drill that out...slightly and your tapering can be very much lessened. Think of it, if you disconnect the wastegate hose, you will build boost to whatever the turbo will put out. By drilling out the hole, you are actually bleeding off pressure to keep the wastegate close ......

Imagine, a beautiful bubble display with perhaps that highly desireable and coveteed whoosh sound.... Yes, the boost could go through a whistle that mimics the BOV sound! Brilliant!

just checked boost yesterday because it was kinda cold and it held steady at 21psi..probably because cold outside..but does not drop til i let off gas..when I get up around 7000 rpm i hear a sound like a hot tea kettle when it is releasing steam ahha never heard that on a boosted car before
