Even if you got more boost up there the power wouldnt increase from the heat. 22 to 23 at 7500 is about it for HP

Checked for any boost leaks?
Also, the tune can be a factor on how you hold boost. (not the boost tune)

have you tried the help spring? there is a how to in the engine section...

OP do you still have the nut on the wastegate arm? Take that Batch off, cut two threads off the arm, tighten the turnbuckle down as far as it will go and re-install. I will bet you some cold hard money that you will hold more than 21-21psi at 7000. :D

It is possible that your setup is out flowing the turbo. If you had a turbo speed sensor you could get a better feel for what is happening based on shaft speed. My setup has the same issue with holding boost to red line as seen in the graph below. Boost hits 24psi, but then drops to 19 by redline.
I pressure tested the car well past 30psi with no leaks. I may try removing the stock BOV to see if there is some dynamic that cannot be simulated with the pressure tester. My car has bolt-ons with no tune(except modded MIVEC map) using Greddy Profec B boost controller. http://www.eng.fsu.edu/~jthagard/EVO/EVOSCAN/240z2.jpg |
Upgrading the wga would help... if the crack pressure of the wga is raised the waste gate wont open and lower the psi... the helper spring is basically the same thing... after you swap or add the spring you'll have to readjust duty cycle as im sure you know...

If the backpressure in the turbine housing is higher than the wastegate can handle it will be forced open regardless of where the boost controler is set. This is why larger exhaust wheels are necessary sometimes to achieve more power and boost with the sacrifice of a slightly slower spool.

To the other person crush your bov that helped me just remembered but dont over due it use a vise grip or take it off the car and press it even both sides not just the middle that would cause it to leak.

Achilles, thats boost not afr. You might not be able to hold anymore, your setup might flow exceptionally well like someone else already said. If more heat comes, its not worth it. Torque might go up but power up top will fall off faster.

My conclusion was backpressures were consistant with boost for both turbos, the only difference was the stocker backpressure became proportional to rpm, furthermore proportional to wastegate load. And the full backpressure remained less than boost I think some might be posted on the cbrd forum |

I used the HKS EVC VI on my IX. It lets you set the boost by RPM.

when did this problem start? im not sure if this just started or you noticed it when you were tuning. i would def recommend upgrading the wga. i have a red with the fp wga and its holding 26-27psi all the way through redline
