I had the plastic fittings and one side melted causing me to overboost. I have since switched to brass. Just fyi

I did a compression test and came out to 220-230 psi. I didn't see any milky coolant inside the radiator and I checked the dip stick and didn't see any milky oil.

The top and bottom ports on the wg should have a vacuum line connected

Mine is running off the wg 8psi right now because it's so cold and I hit 8psi and hold strong. Somethings wrong

Why didn't you just add more fuel rather than lowering the boost? What psi were you at before?
