HELP! Turbosmart EBoost 2

I recently installed my turbo smart eboost 2. I have port 3 hooked up to the compressor, port 2 on the WG, and port 1 venting out. I did not hook up any of the RPM functions, just the boost solenoid and the actual TS unit. It won't boost any higher than 18 psi, no matter I do with boost, WG, or sensitivity settings. I correctly programmed the overboost function. I don't have any visible leaks or bad connections. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

the stock unit is pretty well castrated if it doesn't connect to anything.

right at the moment I am having a senior moment and can't recall the directions, but if you follow them you should be good.
there are a number of gates you need to go through to get the boost where you want with the eboost 2, just follow the directions to the tee.

I have the WG at 16 psi on stock turbo and actuator, I also have my boost and sensitivity at 70 and 70 respectively, but I've varied them both in a number of ways all the way up to 99 and 99.

try a gate pressure of 1.0 sensitivity of 17 and a 67 or so the range.
these numbers work for a WR turbo, a not to different turbo, but should get you in the right ballpark.

if you lost your instructions you can download them.

Wouldn't keeping the wastegate closed as long as possible be better than opening it at 1 psi? I'll try these settings in an hour and get back to you.

The WG @ 1, Sn at 17 and boost pres at 67 didn't make a difference.
