did you get out and tune it?

the high/low percentage is allow you to set the boost in %,
if that's not the case, check with all your hose connect correct,

again, there is no setting in psi or bar in HKS evc v, it's in percentage, you have to drive out and tune it yourself, i assume you set it in 20%, go higher little by little till you get 20psi,

good luck, i used to have one, like it a lot.

its in psi, and i set high to 22 and low at 20 psi, peak just went to 14.5 dont know whats going on, i had a shop install it thats why i dont know how to check the hoses. on the manual it said to set the boost you want and try to get the peak psi, mine just got to 14.5 and stayed there.

what do you mean by resetting the knobs. i set the knobs to 0 then set it to 20, but when i try to get the peak it just goes to 14.5

It needs to be around 60. It's percentage no actual boost.

Yeah I think you thought value of 20 means 20psi. Just raise the value until your desired boost is achieved!

i dont have the aux. screen, waste of money.. but to reset the boost on mine you turn the knob to zero then to full \, back to zero and then set your boost.. i believe it has to be red to set it..i havent reset mine in a while.

I know, I was trying to re-enforce it so he would believe us.
