i have a 5lb spring in my gate now and cannot quit over boosting i have A t-70 style turbo with a .68 back wheel and a jdm 38mm wastegate... would the wastegate be too small to controll the boost accurratly? could it be my comp cams l.s.a. of 112 be causing the extr boost?

Im pretty sure that your cam isn't causing that. As far as WG's go is that an Ebay special? If it is it might be the problem.

I will sell you one at cost so you can get back on the road again, and yes I'm feeling generous today.

PS I don't want 25 million pm's asking for a WG at cost this is just to help him out.
