So I found the issues with my boost spiking so high - I had 4 missing wastegate plugs. Two from one side lower ports and a plug from each of the top ports of each wastegate, 4 in total.

So Sasha supplied me with 4 more - and they are all back in. I added some high temp thread sealant and I have control of my boost again.

I think what happened last year, just before storage, I took my Z to my favorite oil change place and they had a line up, being impatient, I drove elsewhere, and the guy working on my car has an extra set of wastegate plugs. It kinda makes sense cause my boost was acting up at the end of last year. I will never let a stranger work on my Z again.

Car feels great at only 8.5 psi - the turbo spooling thru shifts is sooo enticing! Great kit! thxs again Sasha!
