AVC-R Connection Question

[Redbaboon]

Hi Lads,

Hooked up my AVC-R and discovered that it won't go past factory boost.

I have my actuator (solenoid) COM side connected to the wastegate actuator, and the other side has been plumbed via a tee-piece to be from the manifold (bottom line that passes underneath the throttle body). My pressure sensor is also plumbed between my plenum and factory BOV pressure line. Is this severely wrong?

I have heard some people have used the pressure hose to the carbon canister to plumb to the solenoid, and tee-pieced the pressure sensor between the plenum and pressure regulator (where boost gauges are plumbed).

Could this be a big issue for me? I would assume that these would be measuring the same pressure. Does anyone have any comments, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you plumbed NC or NO (from the soleniod)? Also, did you remove the plastic bung in the spare (NC) hole of the solenoid.

Generally with boost controllers or map sensors, try and plumb them as close to the source of boost as possible, mine was running from the crossover pipe for the intake, which worked ok, but you will need to drill a hole and fit a hose tail connector.

do you have an english manual? If not, the apex usa site has a downloadable PDF.

Thanks Steve - I will check and recheck the connections. I also used the manual (in english) when I installed it from the Apex USA site.

Will let you know how I go, may need to reroute the hose feeds.

Just a thought as it has caught me out...did you enter a figure into the duty cycle parameter?

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks Neo_R34 - I believe that I did, but I'll check to see.

Won't I feel like a goose if that's the problem!
