I am running a stock T25 on a Redtop SR20DET. I use a Apex'i AVC-R to control my boost, I had 2 settings:a) 0.60 b)1.05

Everything had been working fine until recently when all get now is about 0.03. I checked the vaccum lines and all my pipeing and everything looks good to me. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. Thanks

Bypass the solenoid, and run the lines straight to the wastegate from the intake manifold. If you build boost then you have a bad solenoid. If not, then you have a turbocharger problem.

Apexi has had issues with their solenoids.

You mean take the vacuum from the intake manifold and run it into the wastegate acuator on the turbo?

Hey Thanks for the info. I found out what it was, it was the pressure sensor for the boost controller. I blew into it and it didnt track anything, got a new one and its boosting again. Thanks
