pics of the greddy ebc also the wire that i have split connects to the black on selinod but they both seem to have power
Can you tell me where does the red and black wire goes, is it to +/- 12V power supply to the greddy?

It is more appropriate to interrupt the other pair of wire (green/white) - cutting the power to the EBC is a bit drastic.

Does the EBC green/white wire go to a solenoid valve in the engine bay?

yes the green and white go to the solenoid ,the white is the one i have split it connects to the black on the solenoind,with a test light they both show power there is a red also which is green on back of the greddy ,,then theres the red and black red to the battery and black to the ground ...when i had them pluged into the v8jb i was stuck on 12psi .....i disconected it and i got my boost back ..

Do you have a voltmeter ? I am trying to identify the polarity of the green and white wire.

If you have a test light, unplug the solenoid side and test the green and white wire at the back of the EBC, let me know which is more positive.

Great, cut the white wire, connect the ECU side of the white wire to pin 11 of DDS3 and the solenoid side of the white wire to pin12 of the DDS3.

When the DDS3 is switch on, you should get full boost with the water spraying. Drop to wastegate when the DDS3 is switch off or the water flow is outside the WL and WH window.

yes, this a part of the minimum requirement of a fail safe system. no spray = no high boost.

You can use a toggle switch to by-pass pin11/12. But you will not have fail safe.

Wow...don't you guys ever sleep?

pbevo12, you can easily bypass the failsafe when you want to by installing a simple switch that connects pins 11 and 12. When you close the switch it will short circuit the failsafe. The danger is that you forget to flip the switch when you go back to high boost, in which case you wouldn't have your failsafe. It's really not a big deal and is what I plan to do, especially when I don't have the car yet tuned 100% for the kit but have it installed.

There is another DDS3 option most people have missed put.

Pin9/10 can enable a simple 2-way solenoid valve to increase you normal boost further when correct fluid flow is detected.

This facility will do exactly what you want - lifting the 23psi to 26 psi with meth. Read the user manual and let me know if you want to try this.
