Well, switching the controller to external wastegate mode seemed to have worked. I left the controller on auto mode and my first run the controller only went to 10psi, the second run hit 13.3, my third run hit 14.6, and my last run hit 15.7psi on a setting of 16psi. The instructions said it would take a few runs for the controller to dial itself in.
Here is my question. My pillar mounted boost gauge only showed 10psi on all the runs, even though my EBC is showing nearly 16psi. Why the difference? Which would be correct? I'm not sure where the pillar mounted gauge is reading boost, and I assume he EBC is reading it from the turbo or wastegate. I'm just wondering which is right.
Before hooking up the boost controller my pillar boost gauge was reading 16psi with both those springs in the wastegate. Now I only have the 9lb spring installed and that seems to be what the pillar gauge is reading.
My thinking is the EBC is reading it before it goes into the intake and my Pillar gauge is reading boost in the intake. Do you think my BOV is bleeding boost?
