No boost..
As i was getting on a free way ramp tonight i took the car up to redline, went to shift again and i wasnt getting any boost. I thought maybe it was just a safe gaurd or something. But my car sucks in air as normal, its just not letting out any positive boost at all. It goes up to 0 psi and stays there when i floor it. I searched, but can not find a similar problem on honda-tech. My set up is listed below if someone can please give me some things to check for it would be greatly appreciated.

I know it's cold as **** outside, but did you really make this thread before you checked for charge pipe disconnects? Come on, man...

Even a stuck open wastegate will at least creep to 1-2psi by redline, unless you're running like a 44mm on a 1.5L and a huge turbo.
So what's the verdict on the charge pipes? Are the wheels even spinning? Did you hear turbo noise?

My BOV once got frozen open on a sub 0* day and caused a no boost condition. But it also noticably changed the turbo sound, made it very muffled as if it was blowing through a thick foam pad. Mine is recirculated though, an open air one might not make much of a sound.

Yeah,but the car had been running for awhile,and this was after a fairly high boost. (redlined 2nd gear). Then after that no boost.

yeah, to hell with this recent ohio weather. i just want to wash my car at some point.
as for your boost problem, its obviously a large boost leak. i would triple check all charge piping before i even considered buying new parts. check couplers for wear/holes/cracks/etc. it really sounds like a charge piping leak.
