Boost my problem

Hi
I just finish install the turbo 9 to my evo 8, did a couple full and it hit 25psi even with my boost controller all the way close. The turbo 9 came with the 25psi forge waste gate, could it be the problem?

I am not up to speed on the Forge Racing actuators. Are you sure that it isn't a Forced Performance 25 PSI actuator?

At any rate you can try adjusting the length of the actuator rod. So that it just slides freely on and off of the flapper valve pivot arm's peg. Do you know what I am talking about or not?

So if I want to keep my boost around 21 psi I should go back to the stock waste gate?
