vaccum & boost pressure

Ok I have a aem tru boost gauge. I was wondering what's the vaccum pressure should be at? Also I can't seem to get my boost higher then 11psi? Everthing is hooked up the way should be? I even went on there site and read the forum! Could it be my wastegate spring?

Everytime I Wop on the rx7 my boost will not go pass 12 psi? That's even with my duty cycle set at 90 percent. I'm using the aem try boost.

Disconnect the boost controller and tell us what boost you get under spring pressure. Need more info, like what wastegate is it, how you have the solenoid vac lines hooked up, etc.

It's like saying "My car won't start. I turn the key and it won't start. What's wrong with it?"

And vacuum should be anywhere between 15-20"Hg at idle, depending on the porting and engine.

Ok I turn the boost controller off. The boost gauge reads 9 psi. The wastegate is 44mm. I purchased the kit from tur0x2, he's a member on here. The kit is garret gt 4088R. Do you guys think I need dual wastegates? And also he told me if I can recall its 14 pound spring. It sounds to much to me. I plan to run 17 psi. My vaccum reads 12 with a large street port. I might have a leak somewhere then.
