Yes I know what the real issue is. It's a turbo XS MBC. It's worked fine for over a year now. But as of last night I dont' want it no more. It spiked very high. And today it spikes to 15-17 before settling down to 12psi. I want to run 17psi on my set-up. I have a 10psi spring in my tial wastegate. Would it be best for me to just get a 11 bar wastegate spring? Or keep to 10 psi spring and get an EBC??Cams are fixed Car can't keep traction I scared a z28

Congratulations on getting the cams worked out! If I were in your position I'd just get a new spring for the wastegate; it's a reliable solution, you can eliminate a moody MBC, and you don't have to deal with the installation of an EBC... Scaring Camaros is fun.

EBC's are great IMO, adjust boost from within the car. If your going to be keeping the same boost though, I guess you could just get a wastegate spring for that level. BTW, I hope that 11 BAR was a typo. 11 Bar is some serious pressure.

Nope I plan to run 161.7 psi Meant to be 1.1 Going to just go wastegate spring for now. It's my weekend car so no need to constantly change boost.
