boost controller broken?, greddy profec spec B Options

[brianforster]

ok so today i finally got around to installin' my boost controller.

It is hooked up as so:
We used the nipple to the VERY right of the intake manifold. It was blocked off up until this point. I made sure it was indeed a vacuum port by blowing in it and air went through the intake system.
This hose is hooked up directly to the profec's headunit.

We hooked up the solenoid as so:
"IN"is hooked up from the compressor housing, and "out" is going to the wastegate. The other port on the wastegate (the one for the factory boost controler?(TDIS brian says)) is not hooked up.

THis is not Brianforster, this is his buddy so I apologize, but I dont know everything about how your silly turbos work.

At first, we were getting good boost playing with the knobs and making good pressure. We would hit 15 psi, and then it would slowly lose pressure till about 12 or 13. We played more until but we couldn't get any more out of it(still peaking at 15 and dropping). Then, it stopped working. It would make the factory 7-8 and nothing more. We parked it, checked our connections and hoses, and drove it again. It worked for the first two pulls, but afterwards, same stock boost.

I have two thoughts on this problem. One is that maybe I hooked up the solenioid backwards, I will go check.
Two, should the wastegate get the compressor housing pressure and then we hook the soleoid "in" to another port and the "out" to the blocked off hose on the wastegate, or is it all just broken?

TY

i tapped in to the map sensor hose for my line that goes to the cabin and nothign has changed. the car is still acting as if the controller is not hooked up at all.

i would assume that i hooked somethign up incorrectly if it wasnt for the fact that the controller worked fine for like 7 pulls and then stopped working.

i have my cabin line off the same line, and my boost gauge is T'd from there under the dash. it worked on my 7afte fine. 5-20psi... (the motor was already shot when i tried 20psi, and no it didnt blow it apart unfortunetly) i have read over the greddy instructions http://www.greddy.com/img/PHP/products/pdf/687.pdf
a few times but still don't see where we are wrong...
