Other way around if you hook up the wastegate to the manifold. It delays the boost signal so if its for 7psi it'll go more. I have mine hooked up to my manifold until I get a MBC and my wastegate is set for 7psi but I get 10psi no creeps, spikes, consistant. So if the turbo produces 7psi and the intercooler creates a psi drop than the wastegate isnt getting 7 psi yet which means the turbo is going to produce more boost thus causing more boost.
