Boost controller installed - problems

Hey ppl, hooked up a boost controller to my 1GGTE, except i plumbed the controller only into the rear turbo (planning on connecting the second one soon - just that the hoses are difficult to access). Iv checked the controller is hooked up correctly - BUT, the boost wont go past 11psi (stock) . .. no matter how i adjust the controller. Iv got a stock exhuast, pod filter and thats all. Howcome its not boosting any further???
Also, i saw a 20series soarer with 70series supra front end somewhere - how difficult would that be to reproduce? Are the two cars based on the same chassis?

Connect both of the turbos, if you still have the same problem then the boost controller may be blocked. I'm assuming it's a simple bleed valve ( not very suitable for twin turbo applications). Try that fisrt.

I feel sorry for your turbos... especially the one with the boost controller!

You can insert an olive restrictor in the vacum hose from the wastegate (you know the one?). This will allow you to adjust to a higher boost setting. Or you can just put a T piece in same hose with one end open to atmosphere and boost will go to around 14psi. You could then sell the GFB Atomic MBC lol.

U NEED BOTH THE TURBOS HOOKED UP OR ELSE U MIGHT DO SOMETHING BAD TO THE ENGINE/TURBOS , MAYBE EVERYTHING
u need to get both the hoses going to the wategate and tee them in
then use the third end from the tee to connect to the bleed valve
then from the bleed valve again use a tee and use the other two ends to connect to the wategates
make sure u have the bleed valve facing the right way it has an arrow on it which should connect toward the wategate otherwise nothing will happen
