Hi there. I have a situation with my car. I did couple logs to increase my wgdc tables on Ecuflash for the rising temperatures (I lowered them for the cold winter), and I noticed that my wgdc was 0% on Evoscan, and same thing for wgdc correction, and my boost was way below (about 11-12psi, and boosting slowly to 19psi past 5500rpms, BELOW my actual target psi of 21psi). Thinking that it might have been the Grimmspeed EBCS, I changed the whole thing to the stock bcs and hoses, logged a run, same thing 0% wgdc and correction. So, I switched back to the Grimmspeed setting. I even did a log with 100% wgdc on the Ecuflash tables, and same thing, and lowered the tables back down. I was so mad that I floored it when the outside temperature was already a bit colder and the car overboosted a bit after like 5500 rpms, after a slow spool (boost is not going over 15-16psi after 5k rpms on either 3rd, 4th or 5th). What I'm thinking here is that my Wastegate Actuator just went bad. I haven't done a boost leak test yet, I'll try that this week. I attached a screenshot of my tables after I lowered them again and a copy of the latest 3rd gear log (which it behaved the same way with the stock bcs system). I also attached my actual Ecuflash file just in case. I know is not a good tune, but that is until I can take it for a real tune. Mods are on signature if that might help anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Oh ok. I couldn't go on Saturday because I was troubleshooting the car almost the whole day (my post above) and I was going nuts. Hopefully it is just the wastegate actuator and nothing major.

Thanks Mike. The car came w/the entire front end done along w/the side mirrors. Not sure bout the fenders but i may do them and possibly some of the rear, all depends. Thinking I may end up doing a wrap though. All xpell ultimate. As far as the rims go, i should be ordering them sunday or monday. Can't pass up on a killer deal for a brand new set. Last i was told, should take about 4-5 days to get here, so i'm not sweating it. Latest mod done, baby seats in the back.

^Yup, waiting to hear back on eta though. Know anyone who wants a pair of stockers? If no one wants them i'll just powdercoat them for kicks. Dude on nasioc offered to buy them, gave him my price and obo never heard back again, lol.
If any evo x owners want a cool little mount for the cobb ap, i just ordered this one from t-mobile to mount on my window,
