Ok starting new topic to be clear on everything, believe I've confused myself. WD, hope you can help.

First which is "top" and "bottom/side" ports for WG, see pic. Is top actually on top here or is the one that looks like it is 'side' right now.

Next, which of those goes to the "COM" port on the Greddy Selenoid:

Thanks

In your pic the wastegate port that is on top is the side port. If you set the WG on a table with the valve side down, the port on the side goes to vacuum and the top port goes to the solenoid.

We need more smileys...

Figured that out last weekend. Controller is on and doing pretty well. Except I couldn't get the settings to where I wanted. Just using the 'lo boost' for 10psi and turning it off for stock WG spring (5psi). The lowest the 'hi boost' setting would go was about 12psi and didn't want to tempt the engine that much.

Dyno tomorrow to check A/F and see what I'm putting down.

Probably need it, doesn't feel that strong to me, hoping for over 225. Just know the JWT is rich right now.

You can always try lowering the base fuel pressure a couple lbs.

I have an SAFC2 that I can use to fine tune with, if needed. We'll see what the dyno says.
