performed some tests on the 9

The car still won't hold boost properly. I changed the seals properly so that's one issue eliminated to the fullest. Now the real issue.

I'm trying to figure out of its this greedy boost controller which I really despise. How can I test the waste gate actuator? to make sure its not the issue cause that's what I'm guessing is the issue.

I would slowly watch the boostguage when it creeps up to 13 to15 psi. When I gun it the boost quickly drops down to 10psi and the power loss is so bad I can feel it. I have Tbolt clamps all around so I'm trying to figure out what's the issue.

Do I leave the waste gate on the car still bolted up or do I just completely take it off and test it. I think its a stock 9 cause I don't see any makings on it or designs or nothing. But it does have an adjuster.

Have you tried doing a boost leak test yet? Also check for exhaust leaks.
