i don't think i do because i checked the numbers to ports like 3 times to make sure it was right. it's brand new too. don't they do a check before they ship them? that's why they have the inspector sign a card that goes in the box. do i need restrictor pills?

Sounds like either of the two things I mentioned. If you are logging WGDC like you are, you should be above WG pressure and see changes with adding WGDC.

A good amount of people hook up the ports incorrectly and that will get you WG pressure no matter what you do in the ECU. What ports do you have going where?

Definitely don't need any restrictor pills. I hope this helps you, but I'd check and make sure you hooked everything up correctly.

This diagram is for a different setup, but it should help you out.

well i finally got around to checking the install, and it's fine 1 to intake, 2 to wastegate and 3 to turbo. ???? it has to be something with my ecu then, i'm running tephramod v7 and i've read the how to for boost control but it's not doing it, what else should i be looking at?

If you'd like, send me the rom with the changes you have made and I'll look it over. Still got my email address?

Kind of lost on this...

Running Tephra V7 and ECU controlled boost on a BW 7670 w/ Dual EWGs.

Was running the EBCS as a 2 port system (top port of EWG was vent to atmosphere) car was extremely laggy but made boost and held great at roughly 40% WGDC. It just wasn't very consistent. Target would vary between 18-25 lbs.

I changed the WG plumbing to a 3 port system as I was told it may help with lag and more consistent boost curve. I zeroed BEC table and set WGDC to 5%. No it's boosting to 30 psi consistently at 5% WGDC?

When I was running a stock turbo I had to drop my boost adder to 10.6 to keep the stock turbo from over boosting at just 50% WGDC despite living in Atlanta, GA and no where near that high of an elevation. Do I need to just keep dropping the Boost Adder? My target boost is set at 24.9psi

Solved my own problem.. I had run the EBCS backwards. Followed the picture diagram above from JeffBeagley and its responding great. even running the correct "atmospheric pressure values per evelation as discussed by mrfred...

Hello.

I can't see the code that we have to add to our xml files. My ROM is 94170015, could someone please help me? I have tried on many computers and phones, with the same result. I need the tables for Ecuflash, also the scalings, and also the code that we have to add to Evoscan. Thank you very much.

Found a solution. By quoting the message where I couldn't see the code, I can see the original raw text. Still, i don't know why I am having this issue. It is with any thread that contains code.

Sebas

^^ yea. what's the deal with the missing xml code for everything. I thought it was just certain posts. But it looks like all of the code is being deleted? Is it just mfred's work or everyone else as well?
