ok i checked and double checked all of my vacum lines i even bought a after market boost gauge to make sure my gauge was reading the right boost.... which it is only 10 psi then when ever i put the boost controller on it it will jump from 15 to 20 psi and wont hold a constant psi just when u let off the gas and make it hold what u want....... then when i finally get it set at 15 my engine bucks like its being cut from fuel or the timing is being retarded .......so im lost do u think maybe the bouncing psi could be from the spring in the boost controller ........

what controller are you using? Do you have it hooked up right?

If you have it set up right, but it wont hold a constant boost...either you have a leak somehwere or your waste-gate is bad.

Sounds like the wastegate is sticking.
