another meth question
New to meth and I am wondering how long it takes your red light to turn green when it kicks on. When I hit the test button, it takes maybe 2-3 seconds to go from red to green. When driving, I have not been able to get the green light to come on. Traffic hasn't been favorable for an all out blast for me yet, but the red light has come on but no green.
Do I need to be on an all out blast for it to work or do I possibly have an issue to sort out. I have the gain set at 6.

If it turns green with the test button then it's working fine
Green light = greater than 50psi pressure in the lines
There's not a set amount of time or anything like that. There's a ramp up dial inside the larger box and then also the dial you're working with, both will have an impact on when it builds enough pressure to turn green
It'll go green once you get into more boost though unless you have it turned way down or it's not coming on until you're already near peak boost.
When is it set to come on? What nozzle?
Mine comes on around 3psi, green around 5psi, roughly. M15 nozzle, **** turned all the way up
Green light = greater than 50psi pressure in the lines

kit came with the m15 nozzle. I don't have a boost gauge, so I need to grab my laptop tomorrow and do a log to see when it kicks on.

Yeah, it's really going to be dependent on when it's set to come on. I mean if you're getting to 8 psi and it doesn't even come on until 7 then probably not going to go green.. hard to say without logs.
But.. I still think if it's green when you hit the test button then the system itself is working correctly
Whether it's setup correctly or not is another question

made some adjustments today and ran a log. was able to get the green light to come on about a second after the red, also IAT starts dropping around 5 lbs of boost. wasn't able to get full boost due to traffic but was able to squeeze out 9 lbs in 2nd spinning. running pretty rich 10.15
don't want to be meth dependent. will turning down the gain lean it out a little? it is set at 6
