I could see where this would be a problem, but i installed a boost gauge only, i wish it was a boost gauge/controller.

Im so lost and im started to get angry.

pull the vac line goin to the wg actuator off then be CAREFUL and go brake boost and watch your boost gauge closely. See if it goes past 11psi. That will tell you if its the wg actuator spring or not.

Be very careful here. You may end up severely overboosting. Def not good for the motor. But it should tell you if your problem lies within the gauge or the boost control lines.

Especially after they see aftermarket gauge. Most dealers are D's about it.

Try Frank at Autohaus. He put together the 2.3 for a buddy of mine. If he has any questions, he has my number.
