Help...New BPC valve, but still only base boost...

Hi,
I have a 1997 9000 Aero 5-speed with 96,000Kms that has always boosted to the middle yellow since I purchased it 12 months ago. After scouring the archives, I was fairly convinced it was my BPC valve. Hating the fact that I wasn't sure but with no way of borrowing a good one to test, I just went ahead and bought one for US$200. I installed it and same old story, boosting halfway though yellow. I did an ohm test and found both left/centre and right/centre reading to be 3.0 ohms. Left/right read 5.3 ohms...all these appear to be the correct resistance. My old BPC valve readings are left/centre = 3.0, right/centre = 13.6 and left/right = 16.1.
I also removed the "W" hose and it boosted into the red, even so much that the fuel cutoff kicked in. I'm fresh out of ideas and thinking I just wasted $200.
Thanks
Norm
