greddy profec b boost problem

recently rebuilt engine running apexi pfc and greddy profec b controller with external wastegate.only boosting to about .7 bar and was set to 1.1 bar previously.suspect the solenoid on the profec might be sticking or faulty..

I would look for boost leaks rather than worry about the wastegate controller.

with power to the solenoid, pressurize the line to the solenoid and the solenoid should cycle

think i found the prob..split in the hose from the solenoid connection to the wastegate..blew into the pipe and felt little or no resistance guess it shd have been under pressure and moved the hose and it split.was obscured by the thermotek heat sleeve
