I just installed the stage 1 boost valve. It's not raising the boost, even maxed out all the way in. I attached the supply line to the vacuum tree, and I attached the output side to the elbow that the electronic boost controller sent it to the wastegate. Aside from not unscrewing this elbow and plugging it and having the line go straight to the wastegate, I followed the Gillis instructions.
The car boosted to 15 psi before install. It goes just above 10-12 on the stock gage now. I will say that it feels like the boost is hitting harder down low. Car is spunkier ask around but not climbing even to where it was before. Please help!

I just figured it out. Stupid mistake. I didn't realize that the two port elbow on the post turbo tube was more than a reducer, and had used it to plumb to the valve it was actually sending straight boost to the wastegate basically making the valve not the only thing controlling boost.
Working great now!!!! Getting plug blow out just under 18#, time to gap some plugs. Thank you!
