did you make sure and double check your connection process?

Sounds to me like you did something wrong. You should completely bypass your Boost Control Solonoid.

i completly removed the solenoid. But i figured it out thanks for replying though.
So how high can i take the factory turbo without hurting anything

No more than 15 psi. Get some fuel mods soon. Also, you should look into some kind of tuning device like a logger.

do you have a logger, if so then start easing it up until you see knock and then back it off about 1 lbs or 2 and then re log and see if that helps. you wont be able to take it very high due to the efficency range of the turbo and the fact that you have factory injectors and no way of tuning. Good luck and have fun

ok then it looks like ill do injectors and a logger next. thanx im new to turbos...ive had 2 other dsm's but this is the first with a turbo and i love the thing and would hate to hurt it so any input or help from anyone would be very apreciated
