Well one thing that would probably help is the way it merges to the waste gate. Looking at my kit it takes a right angle to the wastegate so that's probably why I'm only able to get to 12psi minimum.
Oh and tobreak it in just don't push down the gas petal as hard. It's not like you have a Toyota.

So I never got a clear answer..will a JGS 50mm wg get me down to 8psi or so? I just dont want to spend all this money on it and have it not work. After trying today im just not going to be able to fit both waste gates. I have one brand new never used silver tial 38mm wg for sale for anyone looking.

No, I want around 8psi or so to help keep my stock bottom end alive and to break in the new engine. Im not sure exactly how much boost my stock bottom end(317s, 228/228) can take before going boom.

I have the twin 38s with .3bar springs and with the BC all the way down the boost creeps to 9psi then settles at 7-7.5 till redline..wonder why it creeps that high with both...

Yeah for the first few hundred miles ill just go into small boost like 1-2 psi..just to help seat the rings a little better. Im getting the car dyno'd tomorrow possible on 7psi...I wonder what she will make. What do you guys estimate? 13* timing WOT 7psi...317 heads 228/228@114. Im hoping for 5-550.
