My boost only 3 psi... help please :(
Hi everyone! the first thing is sorry for my english (i´m from Spain and is really complicated speak english for me.)
I have a problem with my boost, has maximum 3 psi... 4psi sometimes. The last owner made a simplification of the rat nest. Exactly the next pic:
and I felt slow the car so,
I installed a power FC with commander, and finally a boost controller (GREDDY PROFEC OLED):
This is my setup (VERSION 2):
Maybe I installed bad the solenoid?? this configuration is right? or the exiting source input is in the front port?
I´m not sure what is the problem, I checked y-pipe, and the hoses from boost to manifold (maybe not really good check... because I´m not sure how to do it).
I can hear the turbo working, and the blow off sound very strong....
So, can someone help me?? What can I try?
Thanks a lots!

Hi Chechist,
Does your max PSI stay constant throughout the whole rev range?
If so, it could be a boost leak or even a blocked CAT that is hindering flow.
Still running the stock blow off valve (BOV)? It may be leaking.
There are many things that could cause a low boost issue. Its especially harder if the rats nest has been messed with.

Thanks guys! Finally I find a really big crack in the intercooler pipe! But I could to see the crack with poor pressure.
I bought items and I made a handmade tester:
- Bottle of wine.
- Bottle of cappers (for cap)
- Cheapest air pump.
- Cheap Shisha
And..... TADAAAAAA!!!
and after push with my fingers:
So... 3psi for this crack not bad!
