Boost problems

Here's my setup;

T25 Stock
Greddy LS-Spec FMIC
3" downpipe/test pipe/cat-back
Blitz BOV
Greddy Profec E-01 Boost controller only

Here's my problem;

I have tried all the set/gain/start boost combo possible and my boost can't go past 9 psi. Sometime I can get it to hold at 8 psi...but not more.

What I've tried;

I have read 3 times the manual, I know how it work (I had a profec b spec 2 for 3 years...never got any problem with it)

I let the actuator with no vacuum hooked up, it goes all the way up to 20 psi.

I have tried another greddy solenoid, still not working

I have changed all the vacuum lines on my engine, no leak at all and still not working

I have tried 2 different sources of vacuum for the solenoid (The vacuum sources for the BOV and a new one tapped on the hotpipe outlet from the turbo), still not working.

When I got the controller (it was used but in very good working order) it had the 2 wires that goes to the solenoid cut. I soldered them ...I don't know if it can be the problem. I dont think so..

Now, im stuck....I don't know if my E-01 controller units is fucked up. ( I have done the display / controller update to v1.15 )

I have done research already over the forums, I have found alot of thread that helped me trying something to fix that and it still doesn't work...

Also, I have read the FAQ Thread about greddy boost controller and setting said there doesn't work at all too...

If someone had this problem and fixed it or if you have a idea of what to look at, let me know.

Thanks
