Boost Problems Please Help!!!

I installed a mbc and had to turn it all the way up and it tops out at 1 bar or 15psi and drops really quickly towards redline and it is not a really steady boost flow?? What could the problem be?? thanks for the help!

yea, I just installed one of these, the T should sit between the BOV and Intake manifold, and the other end goes to the wastegate on the turbo. Im hitting 24psi with it cranked all the way out to "stock"

Also, did you upgrade your BOV? The plastic 8 bov is worthless beyond 19psi... I would recommend picking up a IX metal bov somewhere on these forums.
