Please pull up the pic and let me know if there is anything wrong with this install of the Grimmspeed boost controller.

The Injen intake I have installed has two nipples. The nipple from port 1 on the Boost controller (on the right side of this picture) is running to the right nipple on the intake. The left nipple on the intake is running to a screw on the backside of the boost controller bracket - I did this just to close the loop and so it wouldn't be an exposed nipple. Giggity.

This connection is tight on both ends, as are all the rest. However, could this be what's causing my low boost pressure? Do I need to run a T-shaped tube to connect the intake to port 1? Or do you have another good suggestion for closing that exposed nipple on the left?

Port 2 from the boost controller (top in this picture) is running to the nipple that is just beyond the UICP.

Port 3 from the boost controller (left in this picture) is running to the nipple that is lower in the engine bay, above the turbo.

Any issues with this setup??

 

u have the ports switched.

Port 2 to WGA

Port 3 to Boost Source

 

The odd thing is I had the ports wired that way before today and I was only hitting 11psi. I saw a how to on here that had them the way I currently have them wired and thats why I made the switch. So I thought I must be on the right path if switching them increased the boost. So odd..

 

ah ok, well, have you tuned the car for it? What did you have before for boost control?

 

Grimmspeeds instructions have port 3 going to the boost source and port 2 the WGA, as you said.

I'm in the process if working with my e-tuner to get the car dialed in so the ecu has been set for the EBC. I think I'm going to switch them back and address the Hose issue for the second nipple on the intake. I'll see if I can get a T type hose for it.

My other mods are Injen intake, Injen UICP, Perrin turboback exhause with their 200 cell high flow cat. 91 octane california fuel.

 

I switched the hoses back to what is shown by Grimmspeed and recommended here, and I'm now back to maxing out at 11PSI. I also put in a T so the hose from Port one goes to both nipples on the intake. Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?
