What soleniod/actuator/valve controls this?
Ever since I installed my mods (all at the same time) I can't get a good boost pattern. I've checked the couplers and looked around and can't find any leaks. I can't hear any either. The boost patterns are very inconsistent. Sometimes 7-5-7, 8-8-8, 7-5-3, and every once in a while in the morning I get 10-8-9. The thing is sometimes when the secondary kicks in it fluctuates. The gauge will go to 5, then 4, back to 5, and keep doing this real fast like a solenoid isn't working properly or is sticking. Which one controls this? Charge relief valve?
The other problem I'm having is that the boost adjustment for the PMS does nothing. I can go down the road at WOT and switch the boost **** around and nothing happens. WTF? I know that the PMS works b/c the car is running rich as ****, and eventhough I'm only running 7psi the car is just as fast as before the mods running 10psi.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Justin

First check your pressure tank. Pull one of the vacuum lines off the tank that is in front of the intake manifold. Do this after you drive the car around for a few minutes and put your foot in it a coupe of times.
Shut the car off.
wait just a couple of minutes
pull the hose.
it should immediately make a definite PPPPSSSSSS sound if it is holding pressure.
If it is holding pressurem then get back in the car and drive it around in the same manor again.
when you check this next thing it kind of needs to be QUIET...
shut off the car...open the door. turn the ignition back on as if you were going to start the car but dont crank it over... as soon as you turn the key forward you should hear a definite CLICKING sound from under the car. tis is the sound of one of the actuators. If this makes no sound then one of the turbo solinoids is bad or vaccum line could be cracked or pinched.
I know its all new mods.....I just dismantled my car for an engine rebuild. whoever put it back together last didn't TRIPLE check everything. I found 6 vacuum lines completely pinched off or not connected at all.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!
