Default Fixed one problem, now another evolves...

<center><img src="http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/polarbearshot/Boost1.jpg"></center><p>So I finally fixed my misfiring problem the other day by replacing the spark plugs (replaced with NGK platinums) ... and now my boost is acting weird.

It will spike (18psi), then drops (9.7 psi), then spikes again (17psi) then goes to the ****ter (8psi). The odd thing is that it never request anything over (13psi). I had an issue similar to this a couple weeks ago which was due to a boost leak (torn TBB).

It's not quite the same though.
So could this possibly be due to the wastgates (n75)? I logged those but I'm not sure how to read it. I started to pressure test but didn't have anything to seal off the PCV hole, but noticed slight amount of oil in the accordion hose and a good amount in the TBB.

Any idea??

btw I'm GIAC stage 2+...

Default Look to see if your N75 DC look erratic. My car did the exact same thing with a bad N75.

I don't think it is a leak because you are meeting requested towards redline.
