Ok. If you don't have a boost controller then you shouldn't even be running 10psi. There are only 3 reasons why you are running over 7-8psi with no boost controller. 1 - You have a boost controller 2 - It's unlikely; but you could have a small leak in the line from the nipple on the turbo to the actuator. 3 - You have an aftermarket wastegate actuator with a heavier spring. Sort this issue out first and then let us know. Then we can determine why it is spiking. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
