Shouldn't he manual boost controller I have installed prevent the wastgate from opening? I would love to adjust the wastgate but I have been unsuccessful in getting the wastgate cover off. I will remove the MBC next and see if boost goes past 9 psi. With the ALDA removed and more fuel, boost should go up.
