How to deal with the wastegate

well im not producing the boost i am suppose to be with my supercharger and i was wandering if it was because my wastegate is opening up too early......is there a way i can fix that to see if i can get the boost that i am suppose to be running? or what do i need to do?

Like said, you have a bypass valve, not a wastegate.

Your bypass valve is open when you're at low throttle positions and closes to hold pressure in the manifold (hence, your boost).

Take it to your dealership cause it could be a couple things. It's hard to diagnose over the internet.
