Do I have a boost leak?
I'm running the greddy kit on my d16z6. I used to get to 8 lbs of boost fine but now no matter how high I turn my blitz boost controller I only get 5 psi max. and if I turn it off completely I only get like 1 or 2 psi. does this sound like a boost leak somewhere or is something else wrong?

For the boost to drop like that, you need to have a HUGE boost leak. Not that it isn't possible, but you should be able to find it really easily.
Could also be a wastegate problem.
You guys really need to start building pressure testers.

Re: (kpt4321)
I found the big leak. it was the coupling attached to the turbo it self it had a big tear in it like an inch long. After i fixed the big hole it drove fine again. 8 psi no problem. so i guess i'll just let it be.
after fixing the mega hole I got curious and built a pressure tester and i couldn't get the car to even come close to holding boost. I pumped my *** of and I could only get like 3 psi and then it would go right back down to 0 pretty quick. I think my really old *** bike pump sucks though. Because I went over all the couplings and I have zip ties or mini hose clamps on all my vaccum lines and i check my pcv and it was fine and at idle my vaccum is like 20-22. so i guess i'll just live with a leaky system as long as it gets to the boost I want.
