				Hey, i am having problems with ectune and my mac soleniod.    no matter what dc % i set, it goes straight to boost cut.      ebc activation : 10psi  wg activation: 7psi  fixed duty cycle 5%    normally closed     straight to boost cut        any ideas?

				Hi   i had the same problem  it was a leak at the westgate  no boost control= boost cut  check your mac valve   set activation with a vacum value , put key ON and you will hear the clicclic noise if not, you have a Mac valve electrical problem: wiring bad soldering....  check your WG vacum/boot hoses

    thanks for the response....  the valve works    50% duty in vac, it clicks like a woodpecker  so the mac valve works.      i  filled in the duty table lookup without actually finding the duty cycles.  im hopinh thats the problem.

				ITS not a boost leak, i unplug the soleniod wires, and it holds 10-11psi - wg pressure

				yup bro  but i needed a high duty cycle like 60% for 15psi  i blew a headgasket, i used one of those cheap korean ones... =(    but the car was miss fireing close to redline tho....  before the hg blew

				Ok cool sounds good, The pwm control is great once you get it all setup properly.
