Also, ESS did say the boost will read lower when you tap into the DV line. With your G1, do you read boost? If so, from where and what values to you get at what RPM? Roughly. Thank you so much for the help too. These forums are so awesome!!

I could care less about the vacuum reading. That is for sure.

Still having issues. Driving me nuts.
I have reached out to ESS. We will see what they say. Also, my boost leak detector should be here tomorrow. I will keep you updated when I have new info.

I would change the bypass. it's possible that it could be leaking even if it passes a pressure/smoke test with the engine off. 9/10 times what you've described is a leaky bypass.

That said, I think you are correct about the BV as there is no way I am losing that much boost from tiny leaks from the bottom of the boots.

Curious how much air pressure do you have the plenum pumped up to? |

Fukn thing still is inconsistent. New BV is the only other thing I guess…

Thank you so much to all that have helped. This is a journey right?
Here are a few things that I have discovered as part of this adventure:
So, here is where things stand. The system tests to 10PSI with no leaks (other than normal losses through the engine itself). After I corrected the BV installation, the car seems to pull OK (see 8 above). The boost measurement still seems inconsistent but I am going to leave that alone until I can install a tap on the plenum itself. As others have said, the port that can be removed on the back of the plenum seems like a perfect place to put a boost tap. Parts are on the way and I will install them as soon as I can. Once I have the boost tap relocated, I will update this post. Again, thank you for all the help! Cheers,

Both the gauge and the way it drives indicates that things are not right. Hopefully after I have installed the DV properly things settle down. Plus I found that all of the boots were leaking...

So, pull the line off the DV and plug it? Then go for a rip? That is not going to cause any issues?

Yeah pull the hose off that goes back to the intake and plug the intake side. You'd be able to listen for correct operation of the bypass valve. This is mine, I added the hose to silence it a bit because it'll whistle on overrun id imagine you'll be able to hear if it's open when it shouldn't be.

As Sammy mentioned above, try this out and see if the valve is operating properly.
Also since you have the ess kit, you can get the velocity stack from eas that already has the port so you can tap your boost reference. There may also be a few for sale in the classifieds here.

OK, so, did a little bit of amateur machining last evening. The boost tap installed very well - really surprised at how thick that piece is. Tapped out perfectly - most expensive part was the NPT tap. Little bit of blue locktite for luck.
When leak testing, there is a tiny tiny leak from this fitting area. I think the O-Ring that ESS uses is a little bit too skinny. But the leak is like a pin leak in a tire so I am not worried. Covered the threads of the bolt in flange sealant, so it is not going anywhere. I replaced all of the vacuum lines with new fuel line and fresh hose clamps. Everything holds 10PSI with the boost tester. BV is fully open at idle. Now, on to the shitty part - one of the bolts on the BV decided to go righty-losey. Luckily it is the bottom threads which has much deeper threads. I will get an M6x20mm bolt today and it should be all good. Worst case, I will hammer a heli-coil in there. I have only driven the car to the gas station (cause we all know these things are thirsty). Boost reading is SOOOOOO different tapped into that location. I did not get into it too much given the one bolt is not stable (removed the washer just to get a bit of thread engagement). I hope it is normal to have it read boost while cruising on the highway I will provide more updates once I can actually go for a proper test drive once I replace the bolt. Thanks for all the help so far.

Still testing. Getting used to how the boost readings have changed since I moved the boost to the Air Pump Inlet location. azn4x4 what kind of readings do you get from the boost tap at this location? I get boost all the time. Makes some sense as the blower is always making flow.
I still feel it is not perfect. Again, if I roll into the throttle, it is great. If I mash the gas, it seems to just struggle making boost. But the roads here are reallllllllyyyyy hard to test on so I need to find some time to go for a rip where I can go WOT for a while. One other thing we got going on here is some heat - and boy this thing does heat soak in traffic. Running 54C today in bumper to bumper bullshit. So, as soon as I know more, I will post about it!!!
