Pipe work to and from the solonoid ok ? is the right boost setting selected ie of position on the avcr is actuator pressure wich can be around 5 psi depending on turbo.

on the boost settings on the avcr where you can switch between high and low boost (A and B) is it on one of them or does it have OFF displayed?

i had the pressure sensor on my avcr fok up before and when it was broken it would not boost. replaced it with a new one and it worked fine.

if you know someone with a avcr as well, try his, its only got 1 plug and 1 vac hose to it, so a 30 sec to swap over to try
