yes its bz's old evo but the psi is find thats not the problem, it doesnt matter how much i run, 26psi is not to much, it has an areomotive fuel system, i can run how much psi i want till the flow numbers do not look good, its the boost controller that is giving me a problem, before all this happened it was running fine till i put on the fp white after the stock turbo seized on me, i think it was not properly put back together. kevinD is gonna fix it wen he gets back, i think i will go with a new boost controller tho hopefully that will fix it

and yes i am talking about alamo, jotech who was fixing my car and tuning first took my car to alamo and tuned my car on a ton of boost leaks and a slipping clutch, the whole tune was bad and i was running 8 degreese over on high boost, then they put the wrong spark plugs in and caused severe detonation on the 4th cyclinder, after that it over boosted and blew the head gasket, finally i took it to kevin and we put the stock ecu back on and replaced all the things held together with duck tape, then we started retuning it to 23psi for a safer tune, as we just tuned the idle to get that good lopy sound, i did a second gear pull, it spiked to 40psi before i even hit 3000rpm and the rod went right out the front, so it was all messed up to begin with, and it never fully spooled until 5100rpms before kevin fixed it was because jotech adjusted the wastegate arm so it would stop over boosting instead of actually fixing the problem
