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.

Re: boost but no power. (ludelvr)
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.

Re: boost but no power. (turtle-eg)
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?
