Eboost2 issue Can't seem to get a reading from the controller. Car makes boost. I have the boost source for the controller hooked into my vacuum block which is plumbed in between the back of the intake and the brake booster. Is that ok? 4mm line into s larger line that goes to the vacuum block. 8 psi spring in wastegate. Over boost shutdown set at 11psi. Gate pressure at factory setting.

I kinked the line by accident. Reads boost but I'm not sure it's accurate. When I was wastegate only my tuner got his reading off my 2 bar map sensor and said it reads at a consistent and steady 8 psi. Now the controller is reading 13.8-14.7 with the same spring in the wastegate.

This car trapped at 126 before the controller at a supposedly 8psi which sounds accurate. I'm going to test it with a manual boost gauge here shortly. I'll report back.

Just an update.
Turns out it was messed up from the factory. They wouldn't warranty it because I bought it from someone on Amazon who turbosmart says isn't one of their dealers. So I bought a new head unit directly from turbosmart and it works as it should. The old unit was showing boost without a vacumm/boost source connected to it. Little pissed they didn't warrenty it even though it was messed up from the factory.
