Default Intercooled STS boost falling off SOLVED!!!

I want to give a big thanks to Blackbird and TRTturbo.

Blackbird suggested that I route a line from the intake manifold to the wastegate so that it's referenced more accurately. This solved the problems of boost going to the set level and then falling off by redline.

Boost now goes to the set level and then falls 1 psi and hold it till redline

Yup, Heath gave me the idea back when I put the first FMIC on an STS (that I know of). Worked like a charm.
