Boost controller help with pics

Finally got around to getting pics of the boost controller install. It is boosting only to 1.0 and I think I have it hooked up right.

This is showing the boost control selenoid. The tube runs to the intake and the other is capped off as it says in the instructions.



This is an overview of the boost controller. The black hose on the bottom of the controller goes to the compressor housing. The clear hose goes to the wastegate actuator.



Is this right or am I wrong. Can someone help?????

I don't see a boost controller. All I see is a blur with some hoses. If it's hooked up the way you SAY it is, then that's correct, but why do you have a clear hose on there, and is the hose going to the compressor nipple a new hose or one of the stock hoses?

The hose going to the compressor is a stock one, the one going to the wastegate is a homedepot clear tubing (its all they had)

You can't re-use the stock hoses, because they have restrictor pills in them. That's your problem - you need to use a fresh vaccum hose.

What the heck kinda MBC is that?

is that a hallman with it inscrewed all the way? first, go to autozone and get some vacuum line. or basically any auto parts supply place you can think of will have some.

next if that is indeed a hallman, put the cap back on by threading it in until you can feel it start to turn in the shaft as well. once this happens, you will continue to tighten it down until you get the boost you want. (go slow, make a turn and check boost by running car). approx 1 turn = 1psi it might take a few turns before it does anything though.
