    stevearm77 NA Compression + TT Boost

    Cant get more than 5psi boost out of this unit no matter what I do.

    It has a new pressure sensor installed, lights up like an xmas tree, if direct current applied to solenoid it clicks, tried a motza of different settings & went over the install manual until I was cross eyed thinking it messed it up but all seems well except 5psi boost, anyone had this problem before?

    Sounds like you're only getting gate pressure so I'm going to guess something faulty with the electrics in the unit. Is power/trigger getting through between the solenoid and control box?

    You may have the hoses around the wrong way on the solenoid ?

    Just guessing not sure if its first install .

    I would say this is exactly whats going on... i got installed mine, and had the same problem...:LOL: Stupid me.. I knew which way they were ment to be but i had trouble getting one of the hose clamps on and in the midst ended up getting the hoses on backwards... *facepalm*

    Wondering why it wont boost over stock and if it did it would spike like a mother****
    3 days later decided to just check em anyway even though i was sure they were right,, well, you guessed it,, they were wrong. :(

    I swapped 'em over, i haven't had troubles since. working good as new.:)

    *sigh of relief*
