I had both my red and blue wires hooked up to the same switched 12v source. The black wire goes to pin #2
what kind of turbo setup do you have this hooked up to? internal or external wastegate? if external, are you using both ports?
all this makes a difference in how the bcs control the boost. one way, you are trying to limit the boost that goes to the actuator or side port of the gate in an effort to increase overall boost pressure...in the other setup, you are using the BCS to allow boost to go to the top port of the gate to hold it closed- allowing the turbo(s) to make more boost.
I have been running the TXS BCS for a long time now and I run in closed loop control. I am one of the few who runs closed loop, and I love it!

thx for the feedback... ext wastegates... can you take a screen shot of your utec settings and paste up? also, did you wire the bc as mentioned above? red and blue to switched power and black to pin#2????
Thanks
