Fd3s twins and factory boost control

So I got the power fc installed new BNR stage ones and a upgraded remote solenoid pack from a member here and all upgraded fueling and ignition mods, I got good factory boost and transition. I tried to up the boost on the power FC and don’t see change. Do I need to install this apexi boost controller? Or should I be able to turn up the boost on the factory pre control and wastegate solenoids?

Bingo. You need the pills. Factory boost control has to have the pills to work properly.

You may want to get a good electronic boost controller.

Thanks, I got the apexi one I just wanted to make sure everything was working right and adjusting before throwing it in. Seeing some pictures it looks like it’s best to cap one side of each actuator, T off both actuator and run to the controller

Dropped in some NOS jets .059in for first turbo pellet and .064 for second turbo pellet. Building 10psi on first turbo and 14 psi on second turbo. I’m raise the boost number and duty cycle on the power fc but not building anymore on the first turbo. Do I need to reduce the pellet size more ?

Awesome will give it a try. Was wondering they the actuator has 2 inputs, I get the one form the solenoid that goes to it and let’s it control how much pressure is out to it, why does the turbo output connect to the other side of it ? Couldn’t I just cap those off and let solenoid only control it ? Or is a safety feature ?
