Questions about electronic boost controller
I just bought an e-01 and hooked everything up ... im a bit confused regarding the stock boost sensor. Why does it still need to be hooked up? I thought the e-01 job was to control the boost now?
Or should it not be and it can be disconnected? Am I missing something?
I'm dialed in at 12psi and im still only hitting 5-6 psi ?
I would personally think you would take the hose off the boost sensor .. plug the sensor and hook the hose up to the out of the valve on the e-01 ? (i read the instructions and hooked it up properly; i didnt do it the way i just said... but still that would make more sense ... ?)

the stock "boost sensor" is a MAP sensor.. it measures the intake manifold pressure and adjust fuel/timing accordingly, if you remove it your ECU will not know how much pressure/vacuum is in the manifold and therefore not know how to adjust the fuel/timing
are you sure you have it "diald in" to 12 psi and not a duty cycle of 12%. The number 12 that shows up on the LCD screen is the duty cycle, not the amount of boost pressure. you will slowly turn your duty cycle up until you have reached the desired boost pressure... mine was around 19-20 for 14psi, but every car will bea different
re-read your instruction manual

On the Profec you are supposed to pull the pressure line off of the FPR. I don't know what the specifics are on the E-01, but it's basically a fancier Profec.
The boost sensor is for the ECU, so that needs to be in the car and working.
Are you sure you hooked up the solenoid correctly?

What the instructiuons say is to tee into the FPR vac line, and you don't actually need to use that specific one. They just say that one because the FPR is the vac souce most likely to be recognised by your average half-wit installer...
