Default Idiot Boost Controller Question

ok....i have an idiot boost controller question, because i can't seem to be holding boost above spring pressure, or can only get spring pressure... i'm just wondering if i hooked up my manual boost controller wrong....pretty much, i have the top of the wastegate open, venting to the atmosphere, and i have the side of the wastegate hooked up to the boost controller, which then goes to the compressor of the turbo for pressure...if i have this set up wrong, could some1 please give me insight, as this is getting annoying...thanks

you might just have the 2 lines backwards.. try reversing it


Also I'd really recommend getting a profec b for like 150-200 dollars or so.. Manuals can be finicky, and I really wouldnt trust one with my 1998 TT supra if I had one.....

Its like garnishing top of the line caviar with heinz
