boosted civic, need help
my friend just turbo'd his 96 ek coupe, sohc vtec
its an hf manifold to a tdo5h turbo
the car wont boost over 4 pounds, we looked for boost leaks, and took the vacum line off the wastegate and it still wouldnt go over, its stock ecu, injectors, and pump, he is waiting on the ecu to come in
help

so do you think that is the problem? or is that just a recomendation?

Check that the wastegate is seating properly too</TD></TR></TABLE>
its throwing the map sensor code, but why would that keep the turbo from boosting past 4
