this - ( https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=389343 ) is a good thread about how boost can build while in neutral.

load drives the turbo, not RPM, it's harder to get your RPM higher at higher gears or in gears but you're producing a lot of loads that revving at neutral which is easy to get your RPM high, but there is no load out of the manifold to drive the turbo

thanks stan.

everything that could go wrong has with my turbo install.

first fuel rail stud breaks, 3 diff auto parts store to finally find one.

today oil line leaks when I had kit all put together.

Take everything out, manifold turbo, IC piping, radiator to get the damn oil pressline tighten up. Then when I was putting the banjo fitting back on, ******* bolt breaks..WTF. So now I'm stuck waiting for auto parts store to open tomorrow and get one after work. UGH. Drained the oil 3 times so far during this install..GRR.. I'm getting irritated. I'm done for today. I'll start tomorrow agian after work.
