Very strange EBC/HKS EVC problem.

I had my HKS EVC5 working for about 2 months now and when I just got my car back from a clutch install, it seemingly stopped working. I'm having the same problem as I had before which is the EVC isn't controlling boost. I've spiked over 23 psi a few times already not even at WOT (welll, not completely WOT).

My duty cycle was set on about 70 and I didn't mess with anything when it came back either. I checked all the hoses and they're all on there secure. I when I start my car up, it briefly says "error" real quick on the screen and when I unplug one of the connectors in the back it (from the stepping motor) and plug it back in it stays on "Error no.001"

Anyone have any ideas?

I'll give this a shot guys and post soon.

Supa, the guy who installed it is my family mechanic and a good friend of mine.. I was thinking he might've nocked a hose out, but they were all fine. Settings were the same when I got it back.

Is the EVC still showing ERROR???? IF not, and all the connections are good, try turning it on by holding down the pwoer button.

If this helps, my current mods that would play any factor in messing anything up are:

B&B 3" Turboback
HKS SSQV BOV (recirc)
SAFC

Took out my AEM intake.

Yeah, it's still saying Error no. 001 real quick when I start the car up. Also if I unplug one of those wires behind the control box and plug it back in, it stays.
