Greddy Boost Controller Problems

I have a problem with the tuning of my Greddy Profec-B Spec II boost controller. I am able to increase boost o.k. from the base boost, but when I do, I seem to have problems. The problem is, when I am at WOT and around 4800 to 5500 rpm, the car wants to surge. You can feel the boost go up and down. However, when I use only 1/2 to 3/4 throttle, I don't seem to have this problem. I tried to adjust the gain and start gain settings, but to no avail. Can anyone either familiar with the Greddy Profec-B or that has one currently installed help me out? I have a 96 200sx with the ga16de engine with the HotShot turbo kit. I have the JWT ecu program and their dual diaphram clutch with te stage two friction disk. Again, any help would be appreciated.

I am currently running the 95-98 240SX MAF. Additional note; I have tried Gain settings fron 5% up to 40% with no luck.

There goes that idea, others have had issues with the Profec B Spec II. I have said this before and will say it again. Simple is better see if you can return it for an original Profec B.

Yeah, it was part of the program from JWT. Thanks for your help James and Wes. I called Greddy to get some help, but I only got the run around. They say it was the installation, but they are full of shit. If I can figure it out soon, I will probably go with an HKS unit.

www.greddy.com and call the tech problem. I'm going to try to make sure the vaccum line to the head unit is connected really close to the intake manifold...I've heard it's very sensitive....................but yes......a lot of people have problems with it. I sure am.
