so i shimmed the waste gate today 3 shimes behind each bolt on the waste gate and my boost didn't go up at all ? I have a megan downpipe, 935 3" exhaust, and a K&N kit and a shimmed wastegate and its only making 7 pounds am i mssing somthing? The only thing i can think is the wastegate was shimmed before i got the car and i took them off because i wanted to drive the car at stock boost so maybe the wastegate spring is streched or somthing?
shimmed wastegate boost didn't go up?

Lol ... say it aint so. Did u put the shims infront or behind the wastegaste? If you did ..... classic!:slap:
If you did indeed install your wastegate shims correctly, depending on the thickness of your shims, you should've seen at least 1-2psi difference.
If not, you've either got a stressed wastegate spring that's seen better days; Or you've simply got worn out 20 year old rubber hoses that just aren't lively enough to handle much more boost. In other words, You could have a small slit/crack in your IC pipes that are keeping you from having any more boost.
Good luck.
