1.6 bar overboost on MC-2?

Michelin Man hose will not cause overboost, but the opposite, low boost or
no boost.

Most common overboost cause I think is the lower wastegate hose.   Don't
crack your wastegate open until you have verified.   You can test the
wastegate operation with a mityvac (or by mouth if you don't have one).
 Apply suction on the upper hose, pressure on the lower.

[What was the common cause for 1.6 bar overboost spikes
in an MC-2 engine?  Was it torn wastegate gasket or MM
hose?

Thanks
