i duno man! just sayin, a kinders opened up that way...

kinders = a bomb ass semi-fast burger/steak/chicken burger place.

if you ever had armadillo willy's its like that. basically a meat deli, go tell em what you want, and they grill you a sandwich.

did you check w/ soapy water...

maybe the tolerances on the compressor are off? if the fins arent w/in spec from the housing, itll do that as well...

im out of ideas aside from what i sent oyu.

ouch.

bunk turbo?

that wg spring is DEFINATELY a 15psi (i ordered it as a 15)

i used it straight up when i 1st installed it on my sst, and it spiked/held 15psi, and matt can vouch.

why does it spike with no line on the wg?

no boost source.

same instance as if you go pull the WG line off a stock wga. stock wga has a 4lb spring.

pull the line off and its going to spike way past 25psi.

w/ no boost source being sent to it, there is no boost to open the WG diaphram to bleed the boost off...so it just builds up in your manifold and makes you spike like crazy.

at this point only 2 things i can think of if you arent leaking is possible WG or a bad rebuild maybe

and you said the WG isnt leaking out of the vband...?

ahhh I see. Im waiting for the car to cool down and ima do another boost leak test. Hopefully something will pop up. I also noticed some shaft play. Side to side and in and out. It seems to be a bit excesive to me. I will have to have you check it out.

side to side is absolutely normal.

in and out = bad rebuild....

just from you telling me its in and out tells me thats the problem.
if you did a boost leak check, and checked w/ soapy water and didnt find nething, i got a feeling thats it.

there is deff more side to side movement than in and out. In and out is only a lil to where it barely clicks.
