Unhappy Apexi AVC-R problem !?

Does any one has problem with boosting when installed Apexi AVC-R ?? I just installed AVC-R, and it only can boost up to 5 psi .... before can go 8 psi to 10psi.

If the AVC-R screen has nothing come up but the orange is appear, what do you guys think ??? Need a new AVC-R ?? or just the wire connection problem ??

i wish you luck finding the problem. once you get it working it is an amazing controller. mine is very accurate and as you know it presents lots of control options. don't forget to check the hosing and wiring to the map sensor...

i dont think your contoller is coming on. i had a avc-r installed and when i had it set to "off" instead of the a/b settings my psi went down to about 7psi. also as someone said check ALL of your connections. make sure you didn't knock a vacuum tube loose when installing. its a good controller once you get it working.
