well... you could TEST it, by removing the wastegate completely, or forcing it to be open all the time. If it still did it then you've found the problem, I doubt it would be that though.
as part of a test i took the actuator arm off and left the wastegate closed (freely)and i had little or no boost up until 5.5-6k rpm then i had about 1.0bar!
yeah nearly all the boost signal pipes the actuator intercooler pipes ran with and without different dumpvalves taken actuator arm off ran with pipes off changed boost controllers tried a prv tried base boost set up
benny came down and had a look at it today
he seems to think that the system is too flowing and that not enough gasses are being realesed. might need an external wastegate or a ported internal wastegate!
