So I removed the xede because Im trading up for an 05.
I put in a new boost line with a restrictor pill. Put the factory boost control wire back into the ECU harness and still onlt 11 lbs of boost. I've triple check everything. The boost wire has good conection and the brass pill is in the proper location.

I'm at a loss, I'm supposed to be trading the car in in the morning and I'm running outta things to try, any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

 

If you haven't already I would reset the ECU. May or may not do anything, but it's worth a try. You may have a boost leak though.

 

sounds like the pin for the boost wire isn't all the way in the ECU.

 

Yep.. Or in the wrong slot

No boost leak.
It was completly fine beforehand. Have reset the ECU manually and with a code reader to no avail. The code reader is reading the CEL as a wastegate malfunction, so it probably is the pin not making proper contact, its the only thing it could possibly be.
The only other thing I could imagine is the selinoid being bad, but its just to fishy that it would happen right after the xede removal, when it was fine before.
It has to be the pin making bad contact. I will go and check it once again.

Thanks for the ideas fellas.

 

Did the "New boost line" have a lower pill (short compressor line) as well as the upper in it?
If not, that will be your problem

 

The ECU Plug that the boost line goes into has two unused slots when the wire is removed for the Xede install. These two slots are the same number of positions in, just from opposite corners of the plug. Make sure your wire is installed in the correct position. Dont ask me how I know this.... You might have it in the mirrored location of where it needs to be.

He shouldn't have ever touched that line though, should he?

 

Bingo!!

Got it figured out at about midnight last evening. It was a bad connection. It was installed in the correct place, just not making the connection. It got a bit disfigured after several removal and installations.

On a side note, I picked up my wicked white 05 today with SSL and Im beside myself with this car. Much improved over the 03. The front limited slip and ACD make a dramatic difference to an already awsome handling car.

Thanks againn for all the help guys.
