another thing to not is loosening the tension on the wg rod will most likely cause boost to fall of at higher rpms especially when using a MBC.

short term fix imo, another thing to check is the BOV spring if its properly speced, if its too soft it will blow off with very vacuum, i know on the lsj i get almost 18inhg at idle and as high as 20-22inhg while cruising, needless to say i run a 9psi spring with no issues in the BOV.

No, its not a short term fix. If he never got it adjusted right after the install, it needs adjusted. Not saying its going to fix it, but I think it will help. the BOV needs a softer spring so that the vacuum can blow it off easier. I think I said harder in the previous post... my bad.

Yeah, so he wants a lower one. he has a 7 lb spring in the WG, and prolly a 14lb spring in the BOV. Should be close to the same.

This, and the WG rod. If the rod is not set to have enough pretension, then its gonna be open half the time.

Agreed. I will only run an external if I go anything larger than a GT28. the lil K04 doesnt need one though.

for every solution we gave an explanation

after the bov releases it does fine... which is weird
no doubt... plenty of info... while cruising in town i figured out that if i bump the throttle to boost and blow off it will cruise through town perfect at 10# vacuum... which leads me to believe its more of a bov issue... i also have the boost gauge tied into the bov... could that be causing a false read on the gauge and the bov to not be working properly?
IMO we gave you a ton of info to base your decision, take your time read it over do what is right for your situation.
for every solution we gave an explanation
does it have adjustable gain% of some sort, not that familiar with the AEM, once setup it should limit boost fall off at higher rpms to around 1-2 psi. all things working correctly.

ok guys, heres what im going to do... back the nut on the wga rod 1/2 -1 turn and order the dejon spring to increase the pressure on the bpv and install the mbc i have. and cross my fingers.
im using a thin silicon hose for my bov which ive thought it could be possible that its collapsing under vacuum and bleeding off the suction on the bpv causing it to build boost too soon...

i took out the spring and checked the rubber flapper... its fine, but while i had it out i stretched the spring some to add more force to it, and guess what... it helped it a bunch on the in town driving... tomorrow i will add another nipple for the boost gauge and see if that helps any. i dont think the turbo is too small, i think its just not properly set up/ almost too small... cant wait to hit 12 psi! i might cream all over myself.
