Turbo waste gate

[marmon]

I have an 01 Ex with 7.3. I've done the DIY intake, 5" turbo back exhaust and have a DPTuner with 60hp,80hp,80 tow. I had to put a new turbo on a couple months ago I went with stock. Now when I get on it it sounds like the waste gate is opening more than it should. Is there an easy way to maybe keep the boost longer and keep the waste gate closed so as to not lose the power? Thanks

What boost #s are you seeing?

i think the stock wastegate opens at 10 psi lol
so i dont think you are hearing the wastegate open.
you could be hearing compressor surge?

If the waste gate opened at 10psi wouldn't that mean you could hear it a lot? I'd bet he is hearing the sound through the open element filter.

I dont think the OP is "hearing the wastegate". Post a video and I'll tell you what you are hearing.

I just realized half my post made no sense. I bet he is just hearing the turbo whoosh that comes from the open intake. Highly doubt you are having WG issues. My truck kept hanging the wastegate and it was just a smokey pig and wouldn't spool.

^Thats why I said to post a video because I can almost guarantee he's not hearing the wastegate

Ok I'll take a video and see if I can post it on here.

Also I'm seeing about 26 lbs of boost when she gets moving!

If you guys are familiar with the old pressure cookers thats what it kinda sounds like when I get on it hard. That psss , psss, psss. If that makes since.
