I bought a used rjc boost controller for my 86 T. My factory controller was working fine, but I got the rjc cheap cause the guy said it caused him to blow a head gasket, so's I figured if I got it working right, it would be cool to get rid of the progressive boost thing with the factory one. I hooked it up last night and couldn't get the boost down, I did a search and found that sometimes you have to trim the spring. I didn't have time to, so I just removed the spring and ball, hooked the hoses back up and figured I would be safe today driving it to work because now theres always going to be pressure pushing the wastegate so no worry of overboost. I got into the boost on the drive in this morning, and I was able to get 12 psi ???, and that was it. Is it only 12 because of the size hole in the 90 elbow on the compressor? where is the restriction that keeps it at that #? With no ball or spring in the controller, I've now just got a hose going from the wastegate to the compressor. What will allow the wastegate to get over 12 psi once the ball and spring are reinstalled and sized correctly?
This is probably a common question, but couldn't find any info on search.

I did get the instructions with it and I'm confident I have it hooked up correctly
