Default Testing Eboost2 ??

This boost controller I got, the gauge end, display, programming.. all work fine. Ive hooked it up both the different ways that the instructions say... single turbo to external wastegate... la la la. The thing does nothing.
Stays at gate pressure no matter what I do.

Is there a way to test the solenoid? I have no way of knowing if it works. Cant really hang my head under the hood while making boost.

You do know that the reading that you set is not psi but a percent of the spring. So setting it to lets say 12 isn't 12psi.

Yes, I know this. I have it set up for 3 settings, low, mid, high.. it stays right at my spring pressure of 6psi.

It's so hard to troubleshoot this thing without looking at it.

Ensure the overboost obS trip is set high enough that you can actually make boost before it shuts down to protect.

I'd think that noid should be just power/ground, you can test it to make sure it cycles at least. I've never used the eboost2, but should be the same as other noids out there.
