I have the GM boost solenoid 1 wire connected to the battery for the power and the other wire connected to A11 i think.

I have the Boost control enabled and normally open clicked and fixed duty cycle set to 0%. Its not hitting 7 pounds like in the wastegate spring. Its keeps on hitting boost cut set to 10. I am trying to get it to what the spring is set for. What am i doing wrong?

What happens when you just disable boost control?

A normally open solenoid cannot be disabled or set too low. Since it is normally open, activating the solenoid is actually closing the flow of air off..try setting it to 15% and then 25% and see what it does.
