No primary boost after simplification

I did the sequential simplification and now have no primary boost. I checked the hoses and everything seems fine. The only thing that I wonder is which harness goes to the turbo precontrol and which one goes the wastegate control. One of the connetors have a white dot on them. Does that one go to the left or right.

Best advice is to look at the color of the wiring and compare it to the wiring diagram in the shop manual. Or just swap the conectors and see if you get boost

White dot goes to the right (looking from the front of the car).

It seems as though the primary boost is being dumped into the secondary and at 4500rpm it finally boosts to 8psi. This is very puzzling to me. I checked the hoses and everything is according to the simplification diagram. Someone help me. Its pissing me off. Before I upgraded the injectors the car boosted fine now its not working.

I had crossed one of the lines on the charge control solinoid (F) in the simplified diagram. I guess I should of paid more attention.

I know I feel like a retard right now. But in the end after ripping everything apart 3 times I finally figured out the problem.

I wouldn't feel like a retard. You DID find the problem. That's what counts.

Ya then my secondary turbo didn't come on line and I got pissed off and went nonsequential. I tried trouble shooting it for a couple of hours and I gave up. Now I have boost and it feels good.

We lost another one to the non-sequentials, haha. I guess it isn't too bad for you, since you already have a straight-exhaust. Are you doing the poor-man's or the true non-sequential?

I did the poor mans nonsequential. That way if I feel like tracking down the problem in sequential i can go back. But right now I just want to drive the car.
