Thanks for the quick replys. If the wastegate is staying open would that cause it to stall in every gear at about 4 grand....the car has been geared really low anyways

Does it jerk and stall? if it just hits 4 grand and then stops building boost there is either a leak or something that wont allow the turbo to spin any faster.

when u get to about 4 grand it sputters and wont build any more boost. I drove it today and now it wont build more than 5 pounds of boost. I got it checked and they said that the wastegate is opening and closeing not allowing it to blow out...sound right?
