I want to let everyone know, @Visconti SAVED my engine yesterday. I floored the car for the first time last night, lo and behold I have an issue with my Wastegate and its NOT opening. The overboost protection he added to my map was the only thing between my car and 30+ psi BOOM.

THANKS John @Visconti. Literally saved my motor last night. Car boosted to 13 psi at about 5K RPMs (it happens so fast, my eyes only saw up to 9 in the gauge) and hit overboost protection and it would just NOT go any higher.

Any of the Turbo guys, you NEED Overboost protection, I could have been another sad story today.

Is this an issue with the AVO internal wastegate and actuator?

No, its an install error on one of two fronts:

1) The actuator arm was set extremely tight (AVO usually sends it all assembled, but I went for a bigger actuator and the actuator I bought had its arm too short),

2) I had a friend run the lines to the MBC and they are inverted.

I know right... 2+ hours there and not one pic...

Dyno will have to wait a bit. At least until May. I'm working 6 days 12 hours till then. I have no time to get under the car and get everything sorted out. Believe me, I want that Dyno tune BAD!
