If nothing they suggest makes it work then they should be sending you a replacement solenoid, or you send yours to them so they can test it.

 

They had no actual number suggestions but to just say they thought my settings were off and check the overboost setting. I never once hit the obs.
I think they just wanted to get me off the phone!

 

It will flash OBS when you hit overboost

 

Yes, never saw that.

 

Talked to a second guy at Turbosmart last night. He actually knew how it worked so that helped. He's telling me to set the GP at 2-3 and then dial in the boost. I've got it set at 70% which is about 20psi. Then start giving it more Gate pressure until you get it to where you want it. Tried it this morning and the boost comes on slow but stays steady and doesn't drop off.
Instructions should be changed because I'd never would of tried that low of gate pressure but it works.

 

Interesting. Did he explain why, or just say try this and see if it works?

 

He didn't say why but I drove it tonight and the boost isn't really holding.
Also the flex joint in the crossover pipe to the wastegate is leaking pretty bad as its trying to rip that flex part out of the pipe. Not sure how an exhaust leak will have an effect on it?

 

A leak will have a dramatic effect on the turbo making boost.

 

How bad does it have to be to effect it? Definitely can hear the the leak idling from inside and outside the cab. Definitely more of a leak then a broke manifold bot etc. The mesh steel is getting pushed out of the pipe near the wastegate. Boost goes up fine but drops back off. I'm going to have to fab something up and get rid of those flexjoints.

 

I popped mine back in the day. Just ended up going to a v-band clamp.
