Default boost but no power.

I've done a bit of research on this but still looking for concrete answers. After installing my new setup (new turbo, 450 injectors, bigger IC and uberdata) on my h22a1, my car was a lot faster than the fmu setup. Anyway, I was using my deltagate and I was hitting around 7-8 psi on stock internals and my second gear burnout lasted the entire second gear. Now, I can barely get a chirp in second gear but the boost gauge is still at the same psi. I don't feel the clutch slipping, but then again, I've never had a clutch slip on me before.

If something was wrong with my internals, would this be related, or is it a clutch problem? I've read that some people suggest that I may be getting used to the power, but I can't do my second gear burnouts anymore, so I'm positive it's not that.

maybe the smoke was coming from your clutch not the tires

Care to share your .bin?
Not interested in the boost portion, but part throttle. Have you had a WB on it?

Does you car bog when in boost? I don't know if this would help, but I had Hondata in my car before boost and it was already lean(never checked it), then when I install my turbo it would just bogged everytime it hit boost. In fact, it ran slower with the turbo than without.

alright figured out why I was losing power. It still might be the clutch (stock clutch) but upon returning from an outof town trip, I noticed the exhaust getting noisier from the engine bay. I take a look, the upper bolt is backed out and a chunch of gasket is missing. It loosened up and the gasket blew out so I took out the gasket (there's still a little bit of a leak, I guess it's not 100% flat) but my power is back again. I was having prbs with that bolt an I guess it wasn't securely in place.

Anyway, how many of you guys are not using a gasket inbetween the turbo and manny?
