This may be a little off topic and little bit of a highjack but, I installed a IX diverter valve in my evo, ran it and it only boosted 12psi. I turned off the ignition started it back up and it boosted 22.5psi. I thought the problem was solved but every once in a while it will does the same thing, yes its installed correctly. Any suggestions?

dude before you get all crazy and pull all your hair out and sell your car run test on the components, get a pressure pump thingy and see if your wastegate moves at its pressure. take off all your hoses and check for holes (not just by looking at it either). pressure check your mbc as well. then put it all back to stock and try to get it working. then drink a beer get laid to calm down and start over again!

Wastegate installed wrong. Bro, I have probably done more installs then you'll ever do! And i'm not just giving up on the car because of this. All I have had is problems (And I don't beat the hell out of my car, I barely even drive it!) I baby my car!!!
The ONLY reason I said I give up is because of all of the problems i've had. And please don't say I treat my car like ****, or beat the hell out of it because I honestly don't. And i'm not trying to make everyone hate me by saying that I might trade in for an Sti, it's just that an Sti is more of a daily driver. Thank you all for your help, i'll have to try some things. Thanks again.

Are you kidding me!!?? Everyone knows that an Sti is more of a dd. You do it right huh. . Ya so do I, I've went through and tore everything back apart at least 5 times. And still nothing. I must have a faulty part or something, because it's a new mbc and wastegate.

what im saying is that your technical skills arent up to par if you cant figure this out or havent taken your car to someone who can... your wasting your time and everyone elses because your bieng hard headed. either take it to someone who can help you out....or sell it....

Remove your wastegate line from the wastegate altogether and SLOWLY roll into the throttle. See if it will boost over 12psi. If so, your MBC install has been confirmed to be incorrect.

have you even tried to do it another way...if you think your right and dont want to try it another way then dont do what TTP says will fix it... but it could fix your car in about 5 min...
plain and simple you are coming at people and trying validate your skills...tell us what exactly you have tried differently so people can try to help you...this is just turning into a argument instead of tech support... and all your saying is you took everything apart and hooked it back up...what did you try differently...im guessing nothing but if you have let us know so we can help...

Also, most people that actually work on cars, don have to go around telling people that they do so many installs and such. Also, they can usually install a MBC correctly the first time.
