back her down to 35 its a wate to go over its actually less effective than it is helping. if you want more air buy a bigger turbo, or atleast upgrade your stock one dont push the little fella till it blows chunks into your intercooler and head, then you will have a bad day. belive me seen it hapen at 37psi with a stocker on a 96 ugly

a boost controller is a boost controller!all it is you might as well say is a small regulator.it reduces the pressure on the line that actuates your waste gate.giving you less waste gate signal as some would say.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

take your elbow out and hook it up straight to the tee or whatever ti was to start out with.see how much you get then,if you still get the same,i'd chech to see if the waste gate itself or the actuator is stuck closed.
