E-boost Street hookup problem I have an eboost street and everything works, except the duty cycle operates "Backwards" from what it should. 99 should be highest boost level, but in my case its in the minumum, and the lower number I use the higher the boost setting. This wouldnt be a big deal but the problem is when it goes over the OBS setting it tries to lower the boost...by lowering the duty cycle, which in my case, actually raises the boost. I tried switching around some hoses 1 and 2 but it didnt work...
Here is how its hooked up currently

so you have the top port hooked up? i cant really tell but look like you got the line going back to top?
i have mine 1 to atmos, 3 to boost supply and 2 to the bottom wastegate port and works as it should.
edit: im going of the port number on the instructions lol

Yea, that sounds right. Turbosmart updated their installation instructions since last time I looked, but it looks like page 7 has my setup exactly and its like you said. http://www.turbosmartusa.com/wp-cont...psi_MAY_12.pdf

You've tried to connect it like at the bottom of page 8.
It's maybe just you're drawing, but ports 1 and 3 are in the wrong place on your drawing. Although it may just be the drawing.
Is there a setting on the controller for w/g or actuator setting ? That can reverse it's operation

I fixed the numbering in my drawing above.
Switching it around so its just the manifold to port 2 then port 3 to the bottom port made it work correctly. Its amazing how much better the controller works when its hooked up correctly
Thanks guys

Why arent you tapping into the actual manifold for a boost reference to the controller. By T'ing in there wouldnt you be getting a boost reading prior to the intercooler or any other means of boost drop before the air gets to the motor?

I agree, you can tap from before the IC for the wastegate solenoid reference, but the boost reference to the controller should be manifold pressure, or at least after the intercooler.

Sorry for dragging up a 2 year old post, but I was wondering if you guys still have your E Boost Street controllers and if so, how have they worked for you over the last few years. Not a whole lot of conversations with people using these controllers lol.
