hey guys...i was woundering if anyone with a stockish 3tgte could help me...wen i rev my engine...and it hits boost...the vac drops from about 20 to 0...but no boost?i rev it up to 7 or so but it just stays at 0....i have tried hooking up a boost controller and playing around with adjustments...but still no luck...i have a plum back b.o.v and you can see the piston inside relise wat i asume is some sort of boost when you back off the throtle.....whats goin on??

when you release the throttle it should open up depending on what tension you have on the spring. have you got the vacum line connected to your inlet manifold ?
