    N75 ECS J valve installed and got a check engine P1289 with 9PSI boost

    I tried to use it with my turboxs MBC and got this code. than I did just the Jvalve and still have this code.

    try flipping it 180 degrees, part going into tip looks backwards from the N75 on my car, but I use a stocker

    Once you have confirmed your n75 orientation is correct, check fuse 34.

    Long leg of the N75 always goes into the TIP. I can't tell what's going on from your pictures though.

    Have you pulled and checked fuse #34?

    Fuse 34 was fried. What could have caused it?
    But still 9psi while running on just the n75 Jvalve.

    Two things:
    - Check and make sure you don't have a short in your N75 plug or wiring (do the same for the N249 plug as they share that fuse).

    - Pull the fuse again to see if it's fried again. If it is, that will confirm a short - if not and the code is gone, reset the ECU by pulling a battery terminal and you should be good.

    I broke a nipple off of my stock one. the funny thing is that if I bypass the Jvalve and just go with the MBC I cet stable 19psi without spike. but people say its not safe so I spent $150 on a Jvalve and its a no go.

    Well, if you're running solid with the MBC, why bother fuching with the N75? Just set the MBC to whatever boost level you feel is appropriate to your mapping and forget it.

    buy another N75, non-race, remove the MBC
    Audi TT ownership is like having a pet. It needs attention and if it doesn't get it, it will S%*@ all over your life.

    The code is electrical related, not performance related. Wiring, connectors or N75 itself. Did you start/run it at all with it unplugged?
