I am trying to install a Gizzmo Intelligent Boost Controller on my stockish non-VVTI 1JZ-GTE. It has parallel turbos, so I hooked the solenoid up like the example below.

I hooked the controller up as shown in the instructions (see page 10)

I have the pressure line from the controller going to an unused port with good vacuum on the intake manifold (after the throttle body) but it doesn't display boost even though the engine runs fine and builds boost (BOV releases built pressure when revved).

When I take the pressure line and blow into it, the controller starts displaying pressure.

Also, when I rev the engine all the way to redline it will show boost for a second. It's recording boost like it's supposed to because when i switch presets it displays the last boost pressure it reached.

What gives?

Thanks for the help.
