Mine did that when I first hooked it up. Then I tried hooking my EBC differently than the manual showed. If you use the turbo outlet as your boost source for both the WG and EBC, then it senses a higher base pressure than the controlled pressure source. This is caused by the pressure drop in the IC.
I take my pressure source from my Greddy TB elbow and that "Ts" into the WG side and WG solenoid input. The IC also acts like a filter to smooth out fluctuations.
This made a great improvement in my boost control. You might also need to experiment with the GAIN to obtain the quickest spoolup that does not either cause spiking or boost start to increase.
You max HP was produced at 15 psi boost. Thus if it stayed at 16psi, you would have made maybe another 15 HP.

Thanks Chuck, your guide has been invaluable to me learning this stuff and helping tune my idle / cruise! I'll see how adjusting the gain helps spoolup.
Quicker spoolup is my main goal.
I'm using an old Profec-B with the solenoid pressure sourced from the UIM. The "OUT" side of the EBC solenoid goes to the top of the WG, and the side of the WG is being sourced near the Compressor before the intercooler.
Previously, I had the side of the WG pressure source coming from the UIM and I would get boost creep consistently. Have not seen any creep since sourcing from the compressor.
Thanks
