Boosting Issues??

OK i dont know what the heck is wrong but i installed an Apexi AVCR. Worked perfectly and was fine. I recently took my car to get worked on, installed boost gauge, air/fuel gauge, koyo radiator, as well as new spark plugs and worked on some fan issues with the relays. now im not boosting at all, oh one more thing i changed my idle rpm from about 1500 while breaking it in to 8-900. i have not yet reprogrammed the BC with these new idle times, it is reading my rpms fine and the boost gauge on the avcr and regular boost gauge gets to 0 psi and stops???? what is wrong please? the solenoid valve controller is still connected properly, any suggestions from u rotary genuises......do i need to reconfigure the rpm and gears on the avcr? and since puttin in the koyo my add coolant light has come on and a loud noise rings in my car but it has plenty of fluid in it?/ thanks yall. and i just bought a microtech so im trying to figure this out, one more thing, my air/fuel read me running a lil rich, but i havent changed any of the fuel settings?? thanks Ian

Did you plug in the low coolant sensor ?( Single wire sensor on top of your old radiator). Are you talking about the boost controller? I know the APEXI boost controller must be setup after installation, did you set up a specific pound of boost?Default might be 0. I'm not very familar with the APEXI setup though, but add on stuff usually needs setup programming.(waste gate may be opening as soon as it senses boost ).But like I said I'm not very familar with those setups,at least not yet hope this helps some.

yeh man thanks. the apexi was fully programmed however the rpms were programmed when i had the idle much higher, so im reprogramming it tomorrow. i believe the sensor is plugged in if not im plugging it in tmorrow as well. how would i be able to tell if the wastegate is opening right when it senses boost? before i put in my radiator i had my BC running it at about 10 lbs . thanks for ur advice.
