either i have the boost controller in the wrong spot or my wastegate is stuck open and my boost will not go over 5 pounds, even if i try free boosting it still doesnt go over 5 pounds. were is the correct spot to put a manual boost controller on a t25 turbo. the short tube going from wastegate to turbo correct?

That would be correct, for the controller hookup.

Sounds like you have a gate issue.
