What boost?
What kinda boost should i be hitting on just wastegate? I hit about 20 and fall to 15. Is that normal or do i have a boost leak? The car is an 03 with about 80k on it

12psi is for the stock wg.. and if you are only boosting 5psi after u plug up the MBC, then it sounds like you got your tubes crossed, if you know what i mean.. hehe..
