if you have an aftermarket turbo, it may have an adjustable Wastegate Arm, you gotta pop a lil c-clip off and spin the arm, I think clockwise is more boost, mine had that problem but was overboostin

You need to stiffen it up a bit... move the adjustor at the top towards the hard setting..

Hey man, I think I got the right set up now. Let me try to explain. Its a lot easier than I thought.

Anyway, buy a t-fitting and "t" it off the BOV line and connect it to the MBC on the opposite side of the adjuster (where you turn it clockwise or counterclockwise). Then off your wastegate run another hose and connect the other end of the MBC straight to the other side of the MBC. And thats it for the MBC.
Then, disconnect the hose off the intake (the little one on the radiator side) and off the wastegate solenoid (follow the hose off the intake and disconnect it there). Now you should have had a hose already connected to the wastegate. Follow that hose too (which should end up on the wastegate solenoid too) and disconnect that hose too. And that should be it.

I have not hit fuel cut, since I fixed it. Let me know if that worked.
