Either that or you could Tee of the intake tap, run one side to another tee and to each of the lower ports of the WGs, then the other side of the original Tee will go to the manual boost controller and then get teed again and run those to the upper ports.

Easiest way to check if everything is correct now is to simply remove the boost controller and run straight to the WGs. Leave the upper ports open to atmosphere. This should be WG spring pressure. If you used the yellow spring you should be around 7-8lbs.

Edit - if you take a look at my diagram a few posts up you'll see how I plumbed mine.
Jwick thxs - I do have it hooked up - just like in your second Paragraph or picture. And still got me to 11.5 pds tonight.

At the beginning of all this - I changed a Vacuum line from Driver's intake T to Bottom wastegate T's. I changed it as it was really close the the engine, and I thought it might have been leaking. I used a Turbosmart 1/4" but I think Sasha uses 6mm. This is a small difference but could this be the cause?

But tomorrow night I will remove the left vacuum line from the Selenoid - that runs to the T'd upper WG's. And then remove the right side Selenoid hose and plug it and wire tie just in case. So essentially the right side intake tube will be running to WG's bottom ports. If I get boost about 8 psi ---- this would be a WG problems then right? I am on 7 psi springs... thxs again for the help...
