have you checked the boost controller solenoid?

 

[turboloon]

what do i need to check on that..?

 

[vss irvine]

that its allowing more than 0.5 bar! try bypassing it

 

[turboloon]

i need to find the solenoid first..lol...is it the one on the passengers inner wing with the vac hoses running to the inlet and standard boost gauge..?

Check to see if you still have remembered to replace the restrictor back in the appropriate vac hose..

i think people were assuming you have a standard boost, i believe you dont need the restrictor if you run an aftermarket controller
