I installed the Grainger type controller just before the wastegate. Prior to installation my car would go to 7psi and stay planted there. After installation the psi was a solid 5. I adjusted. A solid 7. I adjusted one more turn to achieve 8 and got it but then the boost declined to 5/6 as revs rose. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Todd
