Your injectors will push it to that kind of boost and Smarty.

Anyways, it's the hose going from the gate to the turbo itself, that's what they mean when they say "clamped hose". In the picture, it's the blue-ish hose that you can barely see under the intake tube.
That hose is only on the HX35 turbos. He has an HY35 and they don't have a hose between the compressor housing and the wastegate head

The hy runs a a low ar and smaller size exhaust housing , therefore blocking it all the way off imo is a horrible idea. Installing something like a jhook to slow the actuation a bit is a far better idea

I didn't know that my injectors and smarty would make it build that must boost. But ya like RAWilliams said that after 32psi it is just blowing in hot air. Would a Aurora 4000 do me any good or should I get a better intercooler.

I personally feel there are more affordable choices on the market that have comparable performance and features at a more affordable price point. If you could have an equal or superior warranty, with more available parts and upgrade options for the same price or lower wouldn't you use it? If so look to htt or II, engineered diesel and so on. Any vendor here can help you

I would install some high lift mach 8's , a s475 single and a p7100 and hold on

Honestly though? Probably look at a 62 or 64 with a 71 turbine and a 14CM exhaust housing

high tech turbo and industrial injection
