If this has been asked before and you know which thread it is feel free to direct me.
Ok so my turbo won't hold boost for ****! As soon as I go on boost it spikes to like 16psi then it goes down to 14psi where it should be and by 6k it's down at like 12psi. It really pisses me off cause I'm loosing 10-15 hp at top and my torque drops like a bitch. If you saw my dyno graph it also didn't help that I was going rich at 6k. Soooo what can I do to fix this?

Should at least help the issue.. if not resolve it altogether.

If hes not getting boost creep now that means hes got plenty of flow bypassing the turbine so he wouldnt later.
What he has is boost spiking.
Here is where the WG is tied to.. (the line in the background is an oil line and doesnt connect to the wastegate in any way..)
