Default forge mbc install.......what am i doing wrong???

so i got the correct size hoses today from ecs and hooked em up. i dont want to use my n75 at all other than it being plugged in electronically. i have a forge mbc with three prongs. i hooked up one line from turbo into the left prong then the prong on the right to the wastegate and the prong on the bottom into the intake. but i still only get like 8 or 9 psi??? what am i doing wrong???? is it the pos forge mbc?

I have that same one in mine. No problems. I left my N75 hooked up with a vacuum line going from the turbo port to the wastegate port.

you may have it in backwards, i know that the way mine works is that it bleeds of pressure to the wastegate. so i get more boost when i turn it down cus it closes the mbc there for not letting the boost get to the wastegate, and if i turn it up i bleed of pressure to the wastegate and it will open, u could have a bad wastegate also
