Default First start up no boost?

I started her up today found all the oil leaks and triple checked all the charge pipes and whatnot... I have no downpipe at all so i was running straight off the intenal wastegate mani... Theres alot of white smoke coming out the exhaust even after all the excess spilled oil burned away.. I took for a little drive down the street and i couldnt really build boost... one pull however it did manage to build about 5lbs in 4th but that was it and it wouldn't do it again... Would me not having a downpipe of any soft cause me not to build boost? Thanks for helpin a noob get his boost on!

Get a downpipe. The turbo isnt building any boost because there isnt any backpressure.

Get a downpipe before you start driving it again.

umm what? nope, that's not it.

anyhow definitely get a downpipe on that thing before you melt something, but white smoke? does it smell sickly sweet?

Get a downpipe on it and then see if the problem continues.

when i first installed my turbo i wanted to see if it worked without the downpipe and it smoked a lot of white smoke, then I put one on and it stopped.

yes the smoke smells sickly sweet? you're burning coolant. probably a blown head gasket.
