Correct spot, I wrote the sticky/guide on fitting it. LoL

Not saying it isn't at fault, might remove/reinsert it incase it's moved or slightly blocked.

Connected normal boost controler vacuum lines back up after a day running at wastegate pressure and it's all over the place again.

Hitting almost 22psi then dropping down to 10psi then back up again.

Will replace vacuum lines/restrictor pill this weekend.

If that doesn't fix it I guess I'll be looking at an electronic boost controller or replacement OEM unit.

Your boost solenoid is sticking (stuck open = spike; over correction by ecu then snaps it shut & boost drops).

Cheers man, that's what I was expecting.

Your opinion on what I should do?

Electronic boost controller?
OEM boost controller?
Grimspeed Boost controller OEM plug/design?

Borrow another one & see if the issue is resolved.

A factory setup is far safer than a standalone ebc.

Replaced boost solenoid and the problem still exists. Boost hitting 15 or 20 psi then dropping down to about 10psi, sometimes sitting at that sometimes jumping up and down again.

Sigh...
