Low boost issue revisited on my 2001 Viggen

I took the SMBC of to see if it was affecting the boost, it was not. I was going to swap the BPC from my 9-5 Aero and see if that helped, but instead decided to call my indy mechanic. He suggested removing the wastegate to BPC hose so I could narrow down wether it was turbo/wastegate related or something else (which he explained to me but I did not catch). He also said to pay very close attention to the boost with the hose disconnected. MAN!!!! talk about one hell of a fun ride, I was dealing with wheel spin in every gear (1-5). It is a shame I cannot safely leave it like this all the time!
So back to my problem, I am now going to the BCRP7ES-11 sparkplugs instead of the platinums ones, and I hope the boost will get better as my mechanic suggests it might. Also it would seem that I have loose debris (catalyst material) in my rear cat that may be blocking/plugging my exhaust. So off to the dealer for some warranty work. And hopefully I will be running at full boost soon.
