not getting boost need help
ok im kind of new to the whole turbo setup and ive been doing alot of research and i have everything all setup in my car i have a t4 60trim turbo with a top mount on my ls with an external WG i checked for boost leaks found a couple and got them all squared away but im still not hitting boosted im not sure what is wrong could it be the WG it 10 psi spring and im not sure if it has to be ajusted or how to do it
if anyone has input let me know the turbo is brand new so its not blown

a t4 isnt going to spool unless you have it under a load. Holding the breaks and reving your motor isnt going to make it spool

WOW, it's never going to build any readable boost on jackstands. There has to be a load on the motor, like the car being driven full throttle. DRIVEN, not on jack stands.
