Default Apex AVCR boost controller question...

I purchased a used AVCR and was wondering if anyone out there can tell me what their sensor voltage's are. I had my car (95 GSR Turbo... built) on the dyno and it wasn't creating enough boost. So I turned the AVCR up to about 1.5 bar and it still only boosted about 9 psi!!!! A friend looked at my AVCR and said that the voltage didn't look right. Can someone help me out!? Thanks.

no no no... Im talking about when I have my igniton on and my motor off. On the AVCR if you go into the ect. menu and under the sensor chk. it will tell you the voltage from Boost and from the throttle position. Mine says 1.47v for boost and 0.47v for throttle. Is this normal... cause my friend told me that it wasn't.

I assume you tried increase your "DUTY" cycle right?

sure did! Im just thinking that there may be something wrong with the unit. If its not too much to ask can someone take a look at thiers and tell me their voltage readings when their motor is off. I know that they should all be in the same ballpark. If its way off then that will throw me a red flag right there. Thanks.

I showed 1.5 boost and .3 TPS last night with the ignition to the on position and the car off

Perhaps you have a small boost leak somewhere? Try increaseing the start duty in each gear too, does wonders!
