A stupid problem to have (wastegate)
So I am having a stupid problem with my wastegate. The elbow that goes from the compressor housing to the line in particular. It was fine back at stock boost, but ever since I have upped it to 10 psi it will occasionally blow out of the compressor housing Does this happen to everyone that raises their boost? Do they just JBweld that thing back in or is there a real fix for it?

Top Down, Boost Up

If it's coming out, yours is broken. The nipple is pressed in there, and shouldn't ever come out with 10 psi of air pressure. It should take hundreds of pounds of pressure and not even flinch.
Don't just "deal with it for now." Blowing the line to the wastegate can mean blowing your engine.
