Earlier my friend made a post about my MSP. It jerks severely past 3K rpm, and a lot of people suggested fuel cut was the problem. I put in a boost gauge and found out that I'm boosting way too high at about 14psi. I'm not very good with trouble shooting and that sort of stuff, but something tells me that the wastegate isn't opening. Anyone know if that would cause this problem? If it is the wastegate, what can I do to fix it?

I wouldnt drive it until you get the boost under control. That is a very unsafe level on stock FSDE internals. Thats the only advice I can give you as I don't know what might cause that. I have heard the wastegate springs kind of suck though.

Check the vacuum hose going to the WG. maybe it's something as simple as a leaky hose.

Take it to Freeman Irving if you are still in warranty. If you're out of warranty give me a ring.
