My Apexi AVC-R's solenoid starts vibrating open/close like crazy when it hits boost, driving me nuts. It was working when I was running my twins, but now gone single turbo. I had to re-wire it back in a second time, maybe I messed up the wiring? I have a S-AFC II hooked up in there two. Any idea's people?

No. It doesn't control the boost at all and it's not some casual ticking. The moment the car hits boost the solenoid goes off really fast like a baseball card ticking across the spokes of a bicycle. I'll see if I can shoot a video tomorrow.

AVC-R's solenoid is running all weird when my car hits boost (its not controlling boost). When my car does hit boost the solenoid goes nuts even after getting out of boost. I think it's hooked up wrong.

cut your gain back.....

That's what I was thinking, but I was waiting for the video. When I increase my gain too much, my boost spikes all over the place.

I just figured it was because of my iddy biddy motor though..............:biglaugh:

its suppose to make a noise.
use that rubber piece they gave you and mount it under the solenoid if you haven't done it already

do you have the solenoid setup correctly and the hoses the right way.. the boost controller wont work if the hoses are the wrong way..

No. Oops. How?

I don't know, man. Some boost controllers have a button to switch from external to internal, some have a set of switches. I haven't used an AVCR before but every EBC I've used so far needs to know if you're using external or internal gate.

Read the manual...

That's why I asked.
