    dude you are getting "unlimited" boost which means either a line is off somewhere or you have not hooked up the system properly. what's happening is no pressure signal is getting to the wastegates so they are staying shut the whole time. you need to check, and recheck your hoses. no way would the wastegates come set over 1.5bar. well it's possible but extremely unlikely. it's a plumbing problem.

    if the solenoid is jammed open it's possible it's bleeding off so much air that you are getting unlimited boost but the solenoid from memory should be NC type so if not working it should be closed and you just get base boost.

    it says its a swing valve

    system was set up and working when i got the car

    then the solenoid died (hks usa confined this) no i have plenty boost

    the buzz from the solenoid stopped which means its npt working according to them

    we literally went through the hoses 1 by 1

    we will see when we get the new one in there

    thanks again for your in put

    I thought when you said it was all disconnected it wasn't physically inline with the turbo anymore, they should be a fail safe solenoid but if it jammed open then that makes sense.

    oh i meant i disconected the in car controler sorry

    yep i have also checked the power to the solenoid there was a reading

    so the swing valve is jamed open

    i cant wait to open it to learn what is inside after i remove it

    sell it and get a proper ecu

    is it currently tuned for that boost? if so what ECU ?

    sorry thats not financialy viable for me to throw another 2 grand away

    wish i could but i cant

    ill post how i go in the morning

    thanks again for your input

    22psi is about what most people would run on that turbo, I'm assuming the motor is build and tuned for that? what is the issue?

    You could have a boost line with a leak causing it to go higher than it should though.

    cheers for the input

    ill check the lines again i replaced one coming off the fpr but that is all good now

    my motor is not built for that power level and i don't want that amount of boost which is the root of my concern

    my 755 cc injectors and haltech - rail etc etc all go in in a week or so but regardless of that id like to be able to have some sort of control

    and seeing the boost that high with the bc switched off (im sure the solenoid is dead) it still spits out that much boost which i can only see being the actuators

    ill have to research a bit more i guess
