Default Boost leak (STS) help

Okay guys I am back with more questions I have my STS 67mm up and running with a W2A intercooler. My problem is my wastegate is opening and closing constantly during full boost (doesn't matter how much boost). I took down all the pipes and reinstalled them tight as a crickets a$$hole and still does it. I am currently replacing the spark plugs. Does anyone have any input on what it could be or had this problem before?

What are you using to reference your wastegete? where is the vacuum source coming from?

And is that with the AEM Tru boost hooked up or running off the WG spring? Does it do it if you just run off of the spring?

it is run to the wastegate and turbo, I haven't checked it just running off the spring yet but I will keep that in mind when I finish the plugs. I will cut the zip ties and try that. thanks for the fast reply

okay so I turned off the boost controller and ran it from the spring, TADA it stays steady. So now I am wondering if the tubes going to the solenoid are too long or if there is a problem with either the solenoid or the control. Ugh turbo issues suck.
