If you find you boost rises with a porrted gate then it's time to go back to the factory controller unfortunately. As much as I love the ability to change boost on the fly, you can't beat the factory EBC tuned correctly in closed loop IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't have enough backpressure to let the gate work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
