The boost pressure sensor is what actually senses the pressure inside of the intake manifold. If it gets too high it sends a signal over to the overboost protection solenoid causing it to vent the pressure signal to the ALDA. If your sensor is junked up like mine was it will not work.

Wow ... I didn't even think to pull the sensor. That's disgusting. Were you able to clean it out, or did you have to replace it with a new sensor?
