Default Big problem with amal/boost

I noticed today boost 0.3 bar or 4 psi... then I see that amal dont make click sound. Now I go see for amal, and see that there was short circuit in 2 wires on amal valve. now connect all proper, and still dont click. try with another amal , but wont click. voltage on 2 wires which goes on amal is 12 V.

What to do? thanks

Ok I bought In car boost controler (some copy of Turbosmart, something like bleed valve) and I set it to lowest possible boost. Go drive it and see peak 0.7 , hold 0.5 bar. BUT I noticed that boost comming much faster to it max value than before, on amal valve!

Is that possible? On turbosmart page also said that boost will come fast.

where is the trick?
