boost won't go over .97 in the heat
This may be something simple to fix but here it goes. Ever since going single I am having trouble controling my boost when things get hot. My profec, even when dialed all the way up at high boost, won't let me go over 1 bar. I tried moving the setting to all the mild and then all the way sharp to see if that would work but to no avail. When it is cold I can get all the way up to 1.14 bar but right as the heat expands the air, it won't let me boost any higher.
I ran low 12s at the track and I couldn't get over 1 bar, .97 was my highest reading. I probably should have broke into the 11s. Does anyone know what I need to troubleshoot. Or does the HKS racing waste gate need a new spring?
A friend of mine is running a identical setup and is getting proper boost control. He can control his setup very well but his wastegate, I think, has a different spring and is hooked up slightly different.
Any suggestions?

have you checked all your couplers and such to make sure you don't have a tear in a coupler or a crack in a pipe that may be causing a leak?
What spring are you using in your wastegate? Were you given any specs on it?

I don't think it is a leak but I probably couldn't hear it anyway due to my wastegate dumping externally. The spring is, I guess, whatever is standard with the HKS racing wastegate.
What I'm getting at, I suppose, is that if anyone with a TO4S, or other, has experienced this problem and how did you fix it. I know, it may be a leak but I've checked just about every possible thing. Any other ideas?
