I just bought a 97 gs-t spyder, the AVCR Apexi boost controller was not hooked up and the seller told me it would run boost as soon as the controller was hooked up. Well my friend hooked it up and it still runs no boost. We bulit a boost leak tester and tested it but found no boost leak. Do any of you guys no what could be wrong? Weve tried everything we could and nothing seems to work. Thanks

No boost what so ever? 0psi
Put the turbo back on. j/k
Do you have a boost gauge?
Check your waist gate arm to see if it is hooked up or just hanging open.

If you are spooling and blowing off you are getting boost! Your BOV will not just open or blow any thing out at that you would be sucking IF for some reason it was to open. You may have a fucked up WG that is stuck open broken or opening WAY to soon.
