hey whats up, its mike again. i just got my car runnin right about an hour ago. thanks for the help.

anyway, did you buy a t4 manifold for your kit? or did it come with it? because i looked all over the ic pipes for a boost leak, and couldnt find one anywere. finally i took some shit off and there was a big ass hole melted throught my ic pipe from turbo to ic. it was on the back side so i couldnt see it, it happened before i put my header wrap on. so i just replaced it and it flys now. so i suggest to see if its on the back side of that pipe, where it get really hot. good luck bro.

well, if you can't pass 10psi, and your turbo hasn't decided it's going to give up, then you most likely either have a 10psi spring in your wastegate, or a massive boost leak.

hey the turbos only done 1000 miles so should be ok !!
i thought that i had a 12 psi spring but looking again at the kit i bought it says 10 -19 psi so should be ok .
but we disconected the wg so it should have made silly psi with no wg shouldt it ? but i am still only get 10 psi

Also, a clogged cat/precat or a restriction in the exhaust will limit boost( like the stock 2.5 inch cat and precat)..

i have something that sorta goes along with this.....i have stock exaust still...but i tried to raise the boost via shimmig the waste gate, and even putting a vacumn T in the hose to the wastgate(my freind has this and 1 washer at the waste gate and is boosting 12, but he has exhaust. my question is will stock exhaust not alow the boost to raise? o do i prolly just have a boost leak. and sorry for stealing a thread, i figured it would be better to leach of another one then to start my own. :biglaugh:

I gutted mine also however the (2) stock 2.5 inch 90 degree non mandrel elbows after the cat and before the muffler was a boost limiting restriction for me. I could not get past 12psi..
