Does your MBC/EBC require a breather? check the instructions... sometimes they require a breather which is a t with a small pin hole.

It has three ports and one is left open. I know for a fact my vacuum lines are correct. I used to run the same boost controller on my previous setup and it worked fine.

and I hate to say it but I found a boost leak at the intercooler coupler on the hot side. Im going out for spin right now to see what boost level I can achieve.

Dude what the hell

I fixed my boost leaks, took off the boost controller, put it back on, reversed the vacuum lines off the controller and still the same problem...

Just spoke to inline pro and they said I should be loosing a little boost since the dumptube is recirculated. However, my bet is that the greddy solenoid is messed up

can you just get a MAC solenoid to replace it? EBAY has em, same that AEM uses but a LOT less. Sorry i dont have a link....
