HKS EVC V BOOST CONTROLLER question

Just wondering if anyone has had a issue with a EBC only going up to a specific psi. We where tuning the car today and could only get the EBC to hold 24 psi. This is after a meth kit was installed. We think the boost controller is bad but wanting to make sure it's something in the HKS set up that's causing the issue. All the clamps are one tight also.

make sure you replace ALL of the stock vacuum lines! Aside from that, if it's a stock turbo, check your wastegate pre-load. If it's an FP White Rabbit, you should look into the HP WG actuator.

ok so i woke up this morning and drove the car. i changed the scramble setup mode to 60 from 40 and was able to hit 26 lbs. my question now is does that limit the boost. the reange is from 0-100. my gain was still at 100. all my vacuum lines are good and it should be able to hold 36 lbs on the boost controller .. any ideas?

Is the switch on the back of the boost controller set for external wastegate...you could be set for internal and screw things up...

Hope that helps...
