I'm not sure what you are talking about. if you are running 10psi with the stock wastegate that is fine. the problem is adding an exhuast will put you to 10 psi. and there is no way to lower it.

I'm not sure people understand what a wastegate does. Porting your wastegate will not cause boost spike or boost creep and it will not make you run at 10psi. The wastegate vents excess exhaust gas, porting it makes it bigger there for allowing you to vent more gas. I think a search of the forum on the purpose and function of the wastegate might be in order.

with my Profec-B i ran 10 psi on my S5, No problem. If you have other bolt ons you will notice that the stock turbo will have some difficulty maintaining that pressure at high RPM's in the upper gears. Especially if your turbo has high miles and is stock. porting the waste gate allows better control of the boost curve (rise).
