New wastegate

[rlawrence110]

I need a new wastegate so I was going to get the banks bighead and I was wondering if it would be worth it, thanks in advance.

why do you think you need a new wastegate

[rlawrence110]

I can't build boost past around16 psi and my egts shoot up when I get into it

what do you have for upgrades to start with??

[bruce51d]

you're up pipes are probably leakin or you have a boost leak. might want to check it out a little bit before you start throwin parts at it

Check for boost leaks at all connection points of the intercooler piping, and on your up pipes and joints of the exhaust coming off the heads to the Turbo. There's several and some of them are hard to see. If you see black soot around the connections, there's your problem.

The problem is not your wastegate.

Unplug your EGPV [plug at the base of your pedestal] This will solve your boost problems but may not solve your egt problem unless you repair the problem or delete it. High EGT's and low boost = EGPV malfunction.
