"as im told by them"

Yyeeea... I had the same spiel, though different vendor. I wonder if a different solenoid would clear it up, I just don't want to spend the money to end up in the same spot.

Any datalogs/calibration of the problem? How similar are they to mine? Mine would spike like crazy unless I went in a higher gear. Almost like there's an entire second where it decides to do nothing, even still, when it DOES do something it takes time to level out.

Where do you get your +12v from? Have you tried the vaccuum line directly to the wastegate to make sure there is no spike?

Also, can you at least get yours regulating boost a bit like mine? Or is it just not working at all?

i know its not the solenoid on our issue as it works and i use the same vendor and solenoids on other cars. i do have an extra laying around i could swap out but would like to last resort that.

Here is our post http://www.hondata.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12982
our boost source is off the compressor housing so no boost spikes. seems like it takes forever to get up to boost. and not holding boost all the way throught the gear. I cant remember where the +12v is from. yes it works just not well. we have seen up to 14psi but its always at the redline even with the duty cycle on.

Checked your thread. The datalogs only show creeping. Not sure we have the same issue unless you put in a boost cut and give it WOT. Mine has no problem holding, just a huge spike, THEN it holds.

e: I would try setting a lower frequency (20-30) and messing around with that. Low boost generally seems to work better with this.

yea for some reson its not holding boost like it should. Ill try the Hz. thanks sorry for thread jacking
