Default Manual boost controller help

last night i made a MBC, hooked it up and it doesn't do anything



i hooked the bottom port to the top of the wastegate(tial)
and hooked the side port of the controller to a boost source(blow off valve)

i have it screwed all the way down and the boost still does rise

did i do something wrong?

Yeah the pic is the classic Red-X of death. I can call this a repost right? Being we've all seen the Red-X before.

This makes it sound like your trying to lower the boost with a boost controller. The lowest boost you will be able to run is what the wastegate spring is set at.

i hooked the bottom port to the top of the wastegate(tial)
and hooked the side port of the controller to a boost source(blow off valve)
The bottom port of the controller in the pic should go to the side or lower port on the wastegate and the top port on the wastegate should be left open.
