Trouble building boost.

So, my FC has been notorious since I've owned it for boost spiking around redline to 12psi. So, I got my turbo rebuilt, my motor rebuilt and every gasket replaced so there's no boost leaks.

As of yesterday, my car won't go past 4psi at any RPM. What's wrong?

My car;

- Stock ECU
- FCD
- Racing Beat turbo-back Exhaust
- Stock turbo, with Knightsports T4 comp. housing


Thanks in advance.

Yep...make sure the little e-clip that attaches the actuator rod to the flapper arm hasn't fallen off.

I have a boost problem myself, but my FC makes 0 boost. I'll check my WG actuator myself.
