Thought I'd just post these up so folks can take a look if they're so inclined.
I realize that the plumbing is far from optimal, but imho there's no reason that EBC shouldn't be functioning at some level. Blow test confirmed that the EBC was plumbed right and working (clicking solenoid etc.). I don't even hear it clicking when driving around.
Any input? The boost caps out at 8 psi which is essentially wastegate here. It's set to go up to 10-12 psi but isn't even close to doing that.

In the attached log you never went full throttle, so your boost target never exceeded 143kpa.
EBC didn't kick in....
You need to use the gas-pedal to increase boost.

Whoops, sorry.
In that log, EBC duty goes to 80 though. In these two logs I had EBC duty set to 60 and I was still on wastegate.
The TPS sensor reads 100.2% in these logs, so the issue from the previous log shouldn't be there.

Hahaha.
I actually adjusted the slack in the cable which fixed that issue. There was a ton of slop in it, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
In the log that stefanst is referring to, I backed off because boost stopped going up. It was apparent to me looking at the gauge but I guess not so much from the log.

It shows that the ports are correct. That's what I think brain was asking.
Regardless, I got it to work... Boost came on pretty fast earlier, but now I see 10 psi in the blink of an eye. I'm now stuck with the same **** eating grin I had when I first drove this car with boost.
