hey everyone i got a quick question. i just installed a turboxs dual solenoid boost controller on my eclipse and installed it with a T in the blow off line for a pressure source like i was told in a dsmtuners faq. now i have the screws turned all the way down. when i mat the pedal i get 10-11 psi pretty quick but the car doesnt really make good power and it sticks around 5 grand and wont shift for a bit. when it does shift it shifts hard but still doesnt make power. i can barely hear the turbo spoolin it sounds like all motor really...and i got a CEL. so i dont know if i have a boost leak or im not getting enough fuel or what is going on. when the stock boost control was on i was a little lean in WOT but other than that the car ran great. im at a loss and might put the oem boost controller back on. any advice? :dsm:
 
i got a CEL.
Did you unplug the bcs? You need to leave it pluged in for 2Gs or you'll get a CEL.

when i mat the pedal i get 10-11 psi pretty quick but the car doesnt really make good power and it sticks around 5 grand and wont shift for a bit. when it does shift it shifts hard but still doesnt make power.
Not quite sure what you mean here but I suggest test run with the mbc bypassed. If problem persists, perform a boost leak test. If problem solved, mbc is the cause. Good luck.
