    Have you got it plumbed in correctly is the first question! You need to bleed pressure from the red tipped pipe that attaches to the plastic elbow to the throttle body.

    The second picture is of one that can be plumbed into the car so you can control it from the drivers seat. The one you have isn't. It looks like your one will be plumbed incorrectly

    If your one is like the top one, you don't plumb it like the second one. It's just a simple "in and out"

    As I said, switch the controller vacuum hose with the blue hose and it will work.

    Have you also disconnected the hoses to the boost control solenoid.

    I know its recommended. You could also then bleed the air off your boost valve back into the low pressure intake side so you were not loosing air flow measured air.
