Hey guys, new to the board and got a question for ya. Here's the issue... I'm runnin a DRAG kit on my B16. What would cause me to have boost problems? I'm only getting 5 psi on a 10psi TIAL wastegate and saw the same with my deltabreak, I mean Deltagate. I disconnected the line from the turbo to the wastegate and still only get 5psi. The thing is, it's a UNresponsive 5 psi, too. When the kit was first installed I ran 7-10 psi all day and 14 with the hose disconnected. The weird thing is, my VAFC is reading 0.000 intake pressure. Seems weird it would read exactly 0.000, you know? Also, I checked, double checked ALL the piping, BOV is holding pressure until the throttle is closed, replaced the wastegate, checked ALL the vacuum lines, and leak checked engine-okay. What else am I missing? It all started when my axel broke and the tow truck bent my downpipe and oil pan, which is fixed now. Any help appreciated.

check for exhaust leaks maybe around the manifold to turbo, I'd imagine that being shaken up from the bent downpipe

Yeah, I check the manifold as well. Wouldn't an exhaust leak be really obvious, though? I've had my O2 sensor pop out once and I sounded like a Harley.

Did you take your filter off and rev the car to make sure your turbines are spinning?
