thats your problem you want the boost controller to be completely open to lower boost, close it to raise boost.

well with the turbosmart boost controller it says turn the dial clockwise to increase and counter to decrease, well its all the way counter and it still boosts 10 or more.

Re: Boost controller

move your boost source to the turbo the controler is still a restriction it could raise the boost slightly it it is still spiking blow through the conroler to make sure it is free flowing

should it be free flowing with the vavle closed all the way? because i have it closed all the way and no air goes through it
