Well, if you can't get any more than 13# peak when you adjust MBC totally clockwise...

You should first pressure test, and if that comes up blank adjust the WG's.

I posted on how to do this yesterday, FYI.

That sounds precisely like Turbine Inlet Pressure opening the WG's...

Adjust them, carefully. Turn your boost down and relog.

Turning towards the front of the car?!

The Tuna laughs at you. Rotating objects don't work like that. Try clockwise or counterclockwise.

I agree 100% with MM's thinking. It sounds like a wastegate adjustment is in order.

I obviously haven't done it, because I have no clue as to what you mean.

I'd have to side with the fish on that one.

Clockwise increases boost, counterclockwise decreases. Usually 1/4 turn is 1psi.
