Default Boost Control Not Working

I just got my retune for 10 psi and took a test drive, flipped the switch(STS E-BOOST) and mashed it, just got 5#s boost, came home to look over things and saw oil shot out under the hood like it came out the switch valve or something. Wuold this be due to i have the boost control hooked up wrong, ? Will you actually hear the controller switch from low to high boost? _THANKS -TIM

You can't hear anything when switching between low and high boost. The selenoid makes a very slight click.

Just make sure you have the hoses on the right places and that there are no leaks in the exhaust up to the turbo and in the charge pipe going back to the throttle body.

That has to be your hose connections being wrong. I'd send a pic of my connections but my truck is 2500+ miles away from me right now.
