Hi guys, finally ran into a problem with my speed 6 it was tuned for 26psi of boost and now i hit around 11-12. i went through the basic troubleshooting.

boost leak tested intercooler pipe off of turbo capped the end off the throttle body. found a pretty good size leak i was excited! tightened up coupler no more intercooler pipe leaks. same results car will not build boost past 12psi. i checked the 3 port ebcs and it's working. i disconnected the waste gate valve and still builds the same boost. i hear an exhaust leak now from the center of the car but that should not prevent boost from building. i'm at a lost where to look now.

Corksport CST4 turbo internal wastegate
Grimspeed 3 port EBCS
cx racing intercooler setup with treadstone TR8 and a turbosmart bpv
CP-E Catted downpipe.
 
Seems like the wastegate flapper is not closing. Disassemble it and make sure it moves freely. Also fix all exhaust leaks. Post turbo won't matter for building boost though but can mess with your trims. Check the air filter condition and clean the MAF.
