Problem adjusting Timming S14

Ok i tried to adjust my timming back to stock 20 degree's and for some reason the 20 degree mark on the pulley will NOT stay still... It keeps bouncing back and forth between the needle. I would say it fluctuates between 17-23 degree's and wont stay solid at 20.. Is there any reason behind this..?? ...

Well then its obvioulsy not the boost feed source... That leaves the spring itself, or the actual route of the dump pipe BACK into the downpipe... If the angle is TOO big that will cause a restriction in the wastegate flow. Can u look at the point of entry where the dump goes back into the downpipe....

Thats the right place for the boost source for the wastegate..!!
On the wastegate the top port should be vented and nothing should be hooked to it..!! The boost source hooks into the SIDE port...

The boost creep is usually caused by several factors: If ur DUMP is plumbed back into the exhaust stream at to much of an angle, that will cause restriction in the ex flow and force the ex gas to re-route thru the turbo, thus causing boost creep... If the wastegate feed tube off the collector is TOO...
