I am starting to think i have my Tial installed backwards. The bottom of the WG goes to the smaller 90 degree pipe that goes into the crossover, and the side goes to the bigger pipe that ties back into the exaust right?

thats how I have mine maybe your lines are messed up? How much boost are you running even with the mbc turned down? Do you recall what spring your tial has?

I turned the MBC all the way clockwise and still saw 12PSI in 1st gear.... it has the 14lb spring..... maybe this is why....

Jason - you will NEVER be below 14psi then.
Also - what kind of mbc do you have?
Clockwise on a standard black **** INCREASES boost.

This is one of those times I wish I gave it more thought before posting.

Probably incorrect instructions. Even a standard 0-100 air compressor regulator is the same - clockwise to increase- they are all the same.
