boost wont raise...?

ok i searched and coundnt find anything that would help me...

i have the hallman mbc with the incockpit controller.. it been hooked up for a while now and running perfect holding perfect and adjusting perfect... i have it hooked up to the wastegate and the turbo nipple.

well today i got my recirc fitting for the hks ssq i have been running vta for about a month or so and just wanted to recirc. so i install the recirc and tighten everything really good.

get in the car notice the boost is a little low go to turn it a tiny bit and it does nothing and continues to do nothing.... i checked all the boost lines and nothing is pinched and nothing is leaking as far as i know they are all tight and it holds to what its boosting to but its not adjusting .... the adjuster is connected correctly and is also secure.

any ideas would b great thanks!

ok i have the evo spacific kit and had it just with the stock bov line or tube to connect it to the ic pipe...

well its hooked almost straight to the ic pipe very small hose and then a hose comming off the recirc fitting on the front back into the intake tube... i can take some pics 2marrow but i really dont think that would cause this....?

maybe the boost controller needs adjusting internally or something... i dont know

If you could turn the knob, you don't have to adjust anything inside the MBC. I'm hoping you're using heavy spring.

I'm thinking it's how your bov's connected as well as how your spring is adjusted on the bov.

yeah i dont think its the mbc becuase it was fine for like 2 months i dont know ..... and yes im using the heavy spring the bov was fine when venting to air but i wouldnt think that would cause it to not raise unless it wasnt holding correct? the box when being recirced it upside down would that have an effect on it?
