Boost Issues: Need some help!

hey guys...

i got my boost controller installed by XAT and they did a slap job half a$$ job. my car has never felt the same since...

my car is boosting 11-12 PSI max with occasional boost spikes to 15 lbs but that's it...

where can i take my car, or can someone take a look at it for me to see if everything is done correctly?

i'm in the orlando area and need some help

thanks

eh bro. i had the same problem when i installed my mbc. should be the same though. i reversed the lines going into the boost controller.. since yours is an electronic with solenoid.. check and try switching those lines.. i think i runs with the oem solenoid.
btw mine didnt boost above 12psi until i switched it. the boost controller wasnt mark with in or out so i wasnt lucky on the first try.
