HELPP: problems after punishment racing fmic

[Whitespydergst]

Installed the punishment racing fmic on my auto 2g a few weeks ago and ever since then the car runs full boost (up to 30 psi if I wanted) I can't figure out why it is doing this. I have vacuum lines running from the waste gate to the solenoid and back to the j pipe
Any ideas?

Try running wastegate pressure to see if your wg is opening properly. Run a vacuum line from the turbo compressor housing (or j-pipe) to the wg actuator. Should see 10psi boost (or whatever your actuator operates at).

How do I run wastgate pressure? And basically I should just bypass the solenoid?

I just explained how. And, yes, you're just bypassing the solenoid.

Yes you just bypass the solenoid to run wastegate pressure. One line from the wastegate directly to the j pipe. It should run ~11psi. If it runs more then your wastegate is not opening properly.

Ok I thought you were telling me two different things and cool ill try that tomorrow

You have the boost control solenoid hooked up wrong. You need to run a hose from the j pipe to a t than one side of the t to the wastegate actuator. From the other nipple on the t run a hose to solenoid, than a hose from the other nipple on the solenoid to the intake pipe.

Ok which one should I try? I don't have an extra nipple on my intake pipe I might need to make one

Try wg pressure first to rule out the wg, it literally takes a few minutes...chances are, if you were controlling boost before (without the solenoid t'd off and what not), then it's not the solenoid.

Ok cool thanks

I did that and it worked
Now time to put my boost controller back on
Thanks man
