need unichip help cant boost more

ok guys got the unichip and installed it.
went for a run yesterday and heres wut i need help on.
First off i cant boost more than stock boost, tried both settings and i still hit like .48 bar
second when i get to 6k rpm my car backfires like crazy and i start to lose power but car doesnt die or nothing.
im wondering wut i could of did wrong to make this happen.
my car just got slower but it did smooth out the acceleration

so im thinking of using my avc-r but ihave no idea how to install the wiring part.
where do the wires go in the ecu.

I can help with wiring of the AVC or at least provide pics of my current setup. I need to get back down there to clean up wiring.

Ok, I've gotta run to Waco for a few hours and check on the girlie's madre who just got out of surgery. When I come back tonight, I'll pull out the ECU and take pics of whatever you need.. Look at the documentation and see if there are any wires, specifically, you need pictures of. If not, I'll just take all the pics I can and try to help ya with matching em up.

i just wanna kno where the different color wires go to where.
also if u could take pics of the actual boost controller and the other round thingy would be appreciated.

Don't you think it would be more wise to figure out what's wrong with your car now before you go throwing in another factor?

 

[mikeeeee]

welll the problem is that i cant boost higher than stock. so either i installed the boost controller wrong or i need to use another one. i would like to fix it but i dunno wuts wrong so i posted to find out wut is wrong.

 

[t3ase]

Just FYI, I mentioned it before but looking at your signature, if you're worried about warranty... *DO NOT INSTALL THE AVC*

 

[BoOsTiN]

With your car backfiring the way you say, my guess would be there is something wrong and would not hook up another bc. There's not much that you can do to install wrong. I'd say make sure all the plugs are pushed in all the way for starters. Not really sure what could cause the backfire. On the bc make sure you have all the lines on the correct ports. If you have those wrong, the bc will not work properly.
Did you connect the ground wire?

i connected the ground right. i think i messed up on which vacuum hose goes to which port.il ltry to make sure everything is pushed in.

 

[mikeeeee]

i pushed everything in but still doesnt boost higher than stock. any1 have a picture of the boost controller part of unichip installed?

Do a search, I found some detailed instructions on the install, just last week. I can't remember the link or anything, but they were pretty detailed and they included color pics too..

 

[mikeeeee]

i have searched many times and come up empty so im gonna just call josh from their tech help and have him help me.

 

[BoOsTiN]

I not completely sure but I think it goes like this:
Port 1: to crank case breather line
Port 2: to boost line T
Port 3: to wastegate

There are instructions on here somewhere.

 

[mikeeeee]

damn i believe i did it like that...

Bill here is the only one I have seen with a bad one, but yours could also be bad.

unichip

i was looking to get something more for the msp, i already have Injen CAI, Turbohoses SMIC & hardpipes, 3" turbo-back, and ebc at 10.5psi, i have $800 to play around with, what should i do?

 

[Speed Vision]

Try the Unichip or the DSM piece. I got the Unichip and I love it. My only other mods are: Catless DP and intake.. The chip really helped my car come to life.. Now all I need is a FMIC and the GHL S-Pipe/J pipe combo and a GReddy SP2 catback..

unichip

i'm already at 11psi, and i was wondering even if i did get unichip how much more could i push out of the injectors to keep the air/fuel respectably safe
