Hemifever was playing with the reference signal source. Some of the Dodge kits were having trouble building full boost in 1st gear and at high RPM's. Moving the WG source to the intake manifold area solved the problems. Theory was that the air velocity in the snail/compressor housing was moving so fast that it created a vacuum across the opening instead of pressure.
