    Ok where to start?!?!

    Mods:
    Top swapped Impala with a 97 blower.
    Yella Terra 1.9 ratio Rockers
    L76 Valve Springs
    Gen3 blower
    WizAired CAI
    PLOG
    GMPP cat back
    ZZP downpipe with cat
    Lucas #42.5 injectors with connectors
    Intense PCM
    Autolite 104 spark plugs
    ZZP 10.3mm spark plug wires
    180° thermostat with gasket
    Stock pulley

    -Heres the story. Top swapped the car and everything is fine. However, the car is only making 3lbs of boost at WOT. First I zip tied the BBV down and car was making around 9lbs of boost but KR was 5-9*. So unzipped that. Next, I disconnected the BCS from the BBV and again the same. 9lbs of boost but crazy KR. So now I'm back to normal. Is there a connector that plugs into the BCS? I see nothing and it seems weird to me that theres this connector with nothing plugged into it. I gotta do something because the car still feels sooo slow but when it actually made the 9lbs, it actually felt fast. I wanna beat on it but cant

    He means do you have the selonoid hooked up to the pcm or just using the vac line.

    how is your BBV functioning. do you have the solenoid hooked into the wiring harness or are you just running it on vacuum?

    Vacuum only. One end of the BCS goes to the BBV and the other to the T on the blower.
