I've done searches but haven't found anything.
Anyways, I'm not a heavy footer and don't boost too much but last night i was on the freeway and notice the car was running like stock. I couldn't feel the boost nor did I hear my BOV blow hard. Also my boost guage is not going up either. My boost gauge is staying at zero when i'm pushing the pedal hard. WHen i'm at Idle or not pushing the gas it's below zero. I still hear my BOV go off when i'm smashing but it's very light compare to before. What do you think is my problem?
Ohh this is Swaped with a gSR turbo. Greedy turbo kit.

Charge pipe popped off, or you have another type of boost leak somewhere...

thanks for the help. I'm pretty much clueless about turbos. now to search and see what a charge pipe is and what boost leaks are. Unless you want to explain it here.

That will get you going
All your pipes from your turbo to you TB need to be checked to see if one of the couplings came off. Also check all vacuum lines and make sure the waste gate actuator is not stuck open for some reason (that is the thing on the turbo with the rod coming out of it )

OK you have a turboed car and don't know what the charge pipes or intercooler pipes are? seriously dude. You should atleast know how to fix your car when it breaks, because turboed cars often do. I would search and reasearch your turbo setup or kit. But yea, it would be one of the couplers, where the pipes connect together. Most likely thats what it is, OR the waste gate is stuck open, but most likely its the charge pipes.

Thanks for your help guys. I'll check the charge pipe and all the cuplings. Ohh thanks for sending me PM but i can't respond.

Thankz alot guyz for your expertise!! I popped my hood open and check the charge pipe and guess what i saw. A big *** hole, where my BOV was at. I was like ***** now i gotta get a new BOV. low and behold, I just decided to put my head down to look under the car and I freaken noticed some shiny and purple. hahah It was my BOV. i'm so freaken happy. Now i gotta get that **** welded on cuzz the dude was using some one of puddy.

That could be a reason why you didnt hear your blowoff valve..

haha, your funny man. You went to honda-tech first before you popped your hood. That big hole in the pipe would have been a clue. I'm glad you found the problem.
