SBC-ID Boost controller problem.

Hey everyone, the orginal thread started here with my original boost problem.

Take a look please if its not too much trouble

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...5&pagenumber=1

Anyway, After I got my midpipe on, I put the Boost setting to 0 with the gain setting at like 15 in manual mode.

For some reason I got that problem in the thread. I managed to lower the gain to 13 and dial out creep to 12psi. However, it seems my boost controller, or my boost controller settings were wrong.

Would anyone be willing to share their settings that have a midpipe or similar mods? Also would anyone be able to show me a picture of how they connected the boost controller? I was having a problem before getting full boost on primary. I'm thinking its possible my boost controller is just messed up, but I'd like any clarification that I could get.

Please I'd appreciate anyones time if they could help me out

Mods are
Intake DP, MP, CB Boost controller, PFC commanderless, Efini y-pipe and pullies for power mods.

Bob

I know the gain effects the wastegate, but how exactly? does it open the wastegate earlier when the gain is lower?

I run my gain at 45-50. Of course I have a single so that might change everything...

I still havent spent much time tuning it yet but it runs fine at this level. I never see a spike of any type...Always a flat line at the boost level I set.
