Getting 18psi with NO wastegate restrictor pill!?
I was under the impression that with no pills the wastegate opened at 7psi.Im getting 18psi when I take all pills out, But when I put in two restictor pills (stock size),one in the stock location (from wastegate actuator to turbo) and one in the line right below the wastegate control solenoid, I get the boost capped to 10 psi (but with a lot of jumping between 9 and 11 psi).When I run only the restrictor in the stock location I also get 18psi! This is very frustrating because this is the opposite effect as I would expect. This problem came up immediately after my turbos were professionally rebuilt and reinstalled. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

wastegate doors
check and I think this can only be done with the turbos off. Sounds like the precontrol and wastegate door are not set right. the shaft from the actuators is threaded and a pro rebuild might have over looked resetting these if removed.
