Utah Evos
Well i just installed it to run directly from the turbo to the nipple pointing towards the motor and the wastegate to the nipple pointing at the ground. and still gettingcut at 8psi. gauge is maybe a week old. where does your guys vacuum sit? mine stays around -16-18, i am going to have to say i have a bad leak somewhere.
evilbloodbrota i can stop by anytime this morning. if you even want to look at the pos, its just making me angry. haha and my solenoid is capped, i will try running a hose to both nipples.

The stock wastegate spring opens at 11-12lbs of boost. The solenoid and MBC just bleed off pressure to "trick" the wastegate into opening at higher boost. 8 lbs of boost is not possible unless you have a boost leak or you gauge isn't functioning right. Unless the leak is coming from the MBC itself, they way you have it hooked up is not causing the problem. There is something else going on. Good luck.
I dj for the parties I have. **** is tough. Anyone checkin out Klaas down at the rail tonight?
I need to get a different schedule or different job maybe 
Ya I feel you there man
I did 4:30pm to 3am last night and tonight is 4pm till who knows when
I'm still getting used to it. Definitely have it a lot easier since I can sleep in. I cant function without atleast 9/10 hours of sleep. Wish it was less. Just have to train my body for it maybe.

i really want this problem to be a leak in my BOV, i have my 2nd gen eclipse GST BOV in my garage and i was thinking i would slap it on there to see if it helps at all. but i may not hassle with it until the 6th (when my forge BOV gets here) i went through all my stock IC piping they all seemed tight and snug. but ordered MUSE upper and lower ic piping, just to be safe ;D..
and can anybody post a pic of how they have their boost gauge set up? idk if im doing mine correctly.
EDIT: and it sure only feels like im hitting low psi. not much pull. at all. i hit cut at 4500-and up ish in first gear

By what you said, it appears your able to go beyond 4500rpms its just your not building anymore boost.
If you have access to compressed air, then remove your MAF and intake from your intake pipe. Grab a thick ziplock bag, or a garbage bag, get a clamp, and clamp the bag around your intake pipe. Take the vacuum line off the blow off valve, and compress the air inside the vacuum line and listen for leaks.
