turbosmart boost controller...help

[BLK R33 GTST]

Hi

i'll trying to install just a underbonnet boost controller single stage (see pic).....but its not working...........

i have disconnected the factory solenoid from the computer and used the two pipes from it to plug in the smartsmart controller (see pic)......is this correct?

so far i have turned the dial up to eleven clicks(not all at once) and so far nothing. My pillar mount boost gauge still says that i'll only running 7-8psi.....which of course is standard

what am i doing wrong..........have i pulgged it in right.

Please Help! ! !

ok.. from the pic you have there of the stock setup, it should be like this..

top hose plugs in to the pointy end of the arrow, the second hose down plugs in to the back end of the arrow.

done..........

do i just keep clicking up the dial until it starts to read above 8psi...

and how far should i go up to with 3 turbo back exhaust, stock cooler and turbo

10 psi to be safe, which is just over 3/4 of the stock boost gauge.

I wouldn't ever use the stock boost gauge if checking the boost.. even spending $40 on a cheap boost gauge is better than a stuffed turbo or worse.

stupid question but are you turning the knob the right way?

most bleed valves need to be turned ANTI clockwise to OPEN them to BLEED more air out which lets less air to the wastegate, which makes it open later, which means more boostage for you.

if you have done all that was said and turned the knob the right way, then I will guess that the valve is broken.

i am turning the knob the right way(i checked that too as not to make a fool out of myself). i can still keep turn it up but i was wondering whether i had plugged it in wrong........

should i have diconnected the factory boost soleniod? cause i have

should i just be plugging in the turbosmart controller into the two pipes that are attacted to the factory solenoid? cause i have

and should i just check turn it up until i can't anymore or it starts to work? which i havent done (yet)?
