As for unplugging the wastegate line and plugging it.... I have a Big head, maybe I just need to make a small adjustment!?!

I thought the same thing to when I first installed my boost gauge last weekend. I sat there in the garage revving it and only got 5 Psi. They we got on the free way and floored it and saw 20 psi.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

None thats why I put WW in .I used to get terrible surge running with no load at 55-60 MPH I don't always run the boost up that high just once in awhile.

The reason I asked that question is because your boost is the highest I have heard of. Most I see on here is around 25#. I do get surge when I hit the upper boost range, but not while I drive normal. I will read more about this, WW or new housing.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I tossed the WW or new housing around for awhile and I knew that eventually I'm going to replace the turbo for something better so I figured why spend the money for the housing. I have been happy with it , lost a little on the bottom end ( don't smoke the tires so easy anymore ) but that's alright.
