For some reason, my boost is crazily high. I have a TuboXS boost controller and i have it all the way in (lowest setting) but the boost is still way too high. What can be the problem. I looked over the hoses and such that run to the wastegate but didnt find anything.

How high is it? Does it boost fine with it off to 7lbs?

try running a straight hose from your downpipe to the actuator like stock and see if you have the same problem. If you do, time to rebuild the wastegate, if not then its a blocked line going to the BC or maybe a defective BC alltogther. Make sure no hoses are kinked :)

Wouldn't having it all the way in be setting it on the highest boost?
