OK, switched the wastegate reference over to the manifold and it seems to be more constant and not taper off like before but it only made about 4pounds on just the 7# spring, I think though its because of how high a rpm I was at when I punched it. Before It would make no more than .8psi on the 2 step, now it makes 1.4psi. I still plan on pressure testing the BOV again just to make sure I got all the kinks worked out but I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

On a side note, my 300 dollar eboost2 arrived today to fix that problem

That looks like there is still a leak from the BOV. No matter where I go WOT, if I pull through the rpms I still make more boost than the wastegate spring. Thats where I had the pressure go over 7lbs and go down to 6lbs and back up.

If you are talking about at 1965 and it only builds 4 lbs, something just doesn't seem right.

Even though before he was making more boost on the same setup and all he did was change the reference to where it was suppose to be? If anything, it should make more than what it was making instead of less, then allowing the wastegate to actually work.

The only thing weird is that the car almost made 6 psi on the same log, the only difference is that when I hit 6psi I punched the gas below 2000 rpm. Further along in the log where I only made 4psi I went from a 4000 rpm roll, I assume that it made less because of my high (4.10) gear ratio and the rpm I started from.

Well I can't view the boost amount on the log still. I don't know WTF is up with that. I guess you are going to have to try and run it through a couple of gears and watch the boost. That is what blows about street tuning.

Re-pressure tested, with a little boost line hooked up to the BOV its air tight. I did find one pin hole in one of the welds around a bung that I'm not even using anymore. Guess I'll have to yank it off and tig it up. I dont think it was hurting me too bad though.
