exactly ...I'm betting that the base boost was higher than expected as well.

You can adjust it by turning the turnbuckle on top of the wga arm that attaches to the flapper in the hotside.. Unsrew the nut under it and you can adjust the load there

i just installed my forge unos....i had the stiffer spring installed and it was boosting 26-27 turned all the way down...switched to the softer spring turned it up several click like 23(lol)...street tuned it and was hitting 19-21psi all gears....a problem i had was that i had to turn it all the way up then all the way down to get it to lower the boost...

Is it possible the boost controller is getting stuck? Its very cold out right now and im not sure if the boost creep has to do with the weather.. These are the same mods i had on my 05... I just dont know why the boost wont go down even after the mbc i shut completely.. Any suggestions would be helpful


Read the post on the lancer social thank you! Your on your own with this one if something where to break, dont blame the car...look in the mirror

Besides, running wastegate boost won't tell you anything about the boost controller. All you hit is the 12 PSI wastegate pressure which is exactly what should happen. The liklihood that your wastegate actuator is the problem on a brand new car, is slim to none.

We already know that the boost controller is causing you to hit higher boost levels, and it's because of the stiffer spring that's installed in it.

For Christ's sake, change the spring already like I've been telling you to do for 6 days now.

What possible purpose could there be to NOT try swapping the springs?

Why are you stubbornly refusing to do it?

If you need one, come by and pick one up. It's not like I'm going to charge you for it for crying out loud. I'll even mail it to you if you refuse to come down here and pick it up.
