Wastegate issues...i think

Thanks for the clarification on the boost controller and for your thoughts.

The bov on there is stock, most likely original.So start with a new bov? And if that doesn't fix it then you think the wastegate failed and its stuck open? Is that fixable or would i need a whole new turbo? One of my original thoughts was that the wastegate actuator spring failed....does that sound like a possibility?

I dont think its an intake coupler. That was something i checked when i was tinkering with the intake....didn't find anything noticeably wrong and everything was snug and secured.

I could have hit 12 psi...i just remember it being at 9 the last time i glanced at the gauge.

Thanks again!
