Can't get boost control working with non-sequential setup.
Here's the details:
I completed a "rich man's" non-sequential conversion using my old 93 turbos and have retained the stock wastegate/pre-control solenoids.
In my Power-FC I still have sequential turbo control enabled.
The factory map sensor vacuum hose is hooked up to the intake via the port on the left side (which I believe is the factory routing).
I have the restrictor pill installed in the hose between the turbo and the "left" nipple on the wastegate actuator.
I ran a hose from the "right" nipple on the wastegate actuator to the top port of the wastegate solenoid.
I left the other port of the wastegate solenoid uncapped.
I currently have the connector that is BLUE with a YELLOW stripe connected to th WG solenoid (although I have tried the other connector as well just in case I got them messed up).
In my PFC under boost, I have tried everything from 0.50 to 0.75 kg/cm2 and 24 to 40% duty cycle with no noticeable differences noted.
What I am experiencing is that regardless of what I set the pressure and duty cycle settings to, the car seems to boost to 0.28 regardless. The PFC seems to have zero effect on the boost control. What am I doing wrong here? I have borrowed a picture below (THIS IS NOT MY CAR/SETUP just using that picture to illustrate the hoses in question) to show the hose I have the restrictor pill installed in and the port I am using for the wastegate solenoid.
