So my stock boost controller went bad, so I purchased this boost controller from a local business for 160.00 is dollars. It came with the boost controller, some wires, some sort or flip switch, and some extra electric wire. Now I was just expecting a tee shaped device with a screw on top. This is a black box with one knob to turn labaled high. You turn the nob counter clock wise to lower boost, and clock wise to increase boost. It has two wires which it tells you to connect to a 12v source that can handle an extra amp your also supposed to hook it up to the red flip switch that goes inside your cars dash.
The install
- hooked up the waste Gate hose to the end that shows the arrow going out, and the compressor to the opposite end
-I mounted the box on the right side of the intake.
-hooked the positive wire to one end of the r.h low beam fuse so
-----turned key and herd something click in the box when lights are turned on(so I'm assuming it works lol)
-tuned the knob all the way counter clock wise till I couldn't turn any longer so I could set boost properly
Here's the problem.
I have it turned 4 full turns and its stuck at 10psi no mater how many more turns I try to make it, when I turn it counter clockwise it will lower boost so that part works but I can't get it passed 10psi. **Note the only thing I didn't hook up was the switch but I didn't think it would matter since it just seemed like an on and off switch....buy I could be wrong.
I have tried the whole waste gate detached hose trick and it does rise to about 20 psi no problem lol so the waste Gate and turbo are working fine....
Any help would be awesome I've never installed an MBC before but it seemed pretty straight forward... But I guess its not lol
