    The max PSI is 15psi on a stock tune for the 225. Depending on what diverter you have, it can fail in few different ways, If it's a spring type (after market) it will either seize open or close. If it seizes open you will build little to no boost. If it seizes closed you will be dumping excess boost into the compressor wheel and you will hear alot of turbo flutter. If you have the diaphram style and if fails (tears) you will have issues hitting peak boost and holding. If you have a vacuum leak and you don't have a pump or smoke tester go ahead and replace anything that looks crusty. It's seems to me like your car may be flashed. If you were over boosting (20psi) you would hit boost cut, and the car will go into limp mode, and you won't be able to boost past 5 psi. Also, you should have between about 20 inches of vacuum. Check the hard line for the break booster and the black vacuum check valves as well.

    Tidy work! That boost to 20psi does seem wild! I have every faith you'll find the issue. Didn't realise you were planning on going to the ring with it one day, can't wait to see it all built up slapping round the nordschleife!

    Around 15 PSI max is correct for standard 225, mine peaks at 15 (probably just under as the gauge probably is 100% accurate).

    Just for reference if it boosts strong I suggest it’s possibly got a stage 1 map.. stock 225s are flat 👍
