What's a 'GSR'!

Sounds like an exhaust leak somewhere, or boost leak somewhere, or actuator arm is actuating too early! Have you got a boost gauge, if so how much psi does it boost when it does end up boosting!

mitsubishi gsr like a evo.
it sits on like 2 psi and doesnt move much until high revs and then about 10 psi

4g93t 1.8 turbo

sounds like vacuum issue,incorrectly hooked up
or your internal gate has shat its self

OH, you mean a LANCER gsr! You do realise there is a Cordia GSR, Sigma GSR, Galant GSR, Mirage GSR, Starion GSR, Tredia GSR etc right!

you'll have to port out the outlet on the exhaust manifold, as on the TD04 Lancer GSR manifold it is offset in relation to the bolts.
