I am really surprised you couldn't get it to stay under 11psi with enough preload to keep the wastegate closed. As it seems a ton of people don't have any issue. I know I have no issue with an un-ported kit with a full 2.5" straight back.
What did you mean by "Wastegate does whatever it wants"
Also interested in what parts you have had to replace due to poor quality.
Edit: Did you install the MAP sensor that came with the kit?

As reported, Car was Perfect until I installed a 3 inch catback. Yes I have the map sensor installed, car is tuned and all that jazz(OFT, shiv). And as in no matter how I have adjusted the wastegate It was still going to 12, 15, 13, 18, whatever it wants. So that's when shiv said for me to get a new wastegate. I just got it. once the car gets back I will replace it. But my point being the wastegate should not be faulty with such short time of use..If it is/was faulty, how long will this one last..
Before the exhaust car would it 11.5 max which was fine with me but I now have the over boost protection built into the tune and when the car his over 13.5 it hits fuel cut? whatever it is. Which kinda makes it undriveable.
I have replaced all types of random things Blow off valve, Oil feed, Oil return, most of the hardware, all of the clamps, I feel like it was definitely more but that's not my point right now. I just wish all the time wasted on this kit I should have bought another kit and just installed it, dropped it off to get tuned and be done.. Just trying to hammer out my issue and be able to rip on the car again.
