were you able to get those codes like i asked?
he had a tgv code, cant remember what code but if i remember correctly it was tgv #2 circuit open.
was only boosting 11-13 psi, his bpv was leaking, swapped it out with a good bpv. held boost @ 16 psi. using a stock bpv, with no recirculating hose.
ewg sounds funky. flutters like crazy when opens, kind of sounds like a misfire, has no dump tube, could that be a cause?

Due to it spitting out those codes, you know its going to be electrical related,check using Digital meter. Thats what I do. Check the TGV connection for the 1096 for you might just have a loose connection. My brother ran into this awhile back.
