Teh WOOHOOHOOHOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fixed my boost controller  Somebody's not slow anymore I found out that who ever put it in connected it wrong. Since it's twin turbo, the 2 lines coming out of the boost controller had to be tee'd to both turbos, one set of lines to the high side of the compressor, one set to the wastegate port. Well, they had one side of the tee going to the high side, and the other to the wastegate on both main hoses. So basically, they weren't doing anything but allowing me to get stock boost levels. Well, while I was looking and tinkering, I discovered this and rerouted the lines so that both high side lines went to the high side, and both wastegate lines went to the waste gate.....and lo-and-behold......16psi!!! Well, at 16psi it started to ping a little, so I backed it off to 14 for now, and when I put in the injectors that came in yesterday, i should have no problems, and then the intercooler will be here tuesday for even higher boost capability, and the BOV should be here the week after
I'm giddy like a school girl that has just found her favorite spot on the couch arm :D:D:D

dont play around with the std computer buy and aftermarket one. or a piggy back one they dont cost that much these days. Its never a good idea to screw around with the ECU

It spools slightly faster, but it still has a decent amount of lag.
